Class: module:br/parsing/ThousandsParser

module:br/parsing/ThousandsParser

Parses an amount and strips any thousands separators.

ThousandsParser is typically used with Presenter, but can be invoked programmatically as in the following example which evaluates to "8987551787.0":

ThousandsParser.parse("8,987,551,787.0", {})

The number grouping separator will change per locale. The english separator defaults to "," as in the example above, see the i18n property br.i18n.number.grouping.separator in other locales for their separators.

See module:br/formatting/ThousandsFormatter for the complementary formatter.
