how can i format decimal to currency format in mustache?

Question

I'm using mustache to render json data received through Ajax. I want to render this number in currency format: `{{price}}` e.g.: 12300 How can I render it as: `"12,300"` using mustache templating engine ?

Accepted Answer

Mustache is very minimalistic and doesn't provide any support for this.

You either have to supply the formatted data or a function returning the formatted data

```
{ priceDecimal: function () { return formatDecimal(this.price); } }
```

Another alternative is to use handlebars.js which supports helper functions

```
Handlebars.registerHelper('decimal', function(number) {
  return formatDecimal(number);
});
```

and use it like this

```
{{decimal price}}
```
