Format a ui-grid grid column as currency (RC 3.0)

Question

The grid options below display the data as expected. But If I try to to format the row.entity[col.field] value in my cellTemplate, I don't get any data returned.

Code:

$scope.gridOptions = {
    enableSorting: true,
    columnDefs: [
        {name: 'Award Title', field: 'projectTitle', minWidth: 100 },
        {name: 'Amount', field: 'awardAmount', cellTemplate: '<div>{{Number(row.entity[col.field]).toFixed(2).replace(/\d(?=(\d{3})+\.)/g, '$&,')}}
    ]
};

Any guidance on how to format the column as currency is appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can use 'currency' cellFilter to format your data.

$scope.gridOptions = {
    enableSorting: true,
    columnDefs: [
        {name: 'Award Title', field: 'projectTitle', minWidth: 100 },
        {name: 'Amount', field: 'awardAmount', cellFilter: 'currency' }}
    ]
};
