format.Type

Note:

JavaScript does not include an enumeration type. The SuiteScript 2.x documentation uses the term enumeration (or enum) to describe a plain JavaScript object with a flat, map-like structure. In this object, each key points to a read-only string value.

Enum Description

Holds the string values for the supported field types. Use this enum to set the value of the options.type parameter when calling format.format(options) or format.parse(options).

    • POSCURRENCY

    • POSFLOAT

    • POSINTEGER

  • NONNEGFLOAT requires a value that is greater than or equal to 0

  • CURRENCY field type rounds the number based on the user's currency precision setting and is limited to hundredths / 2 decimals (0.00).

  • CURRENCY2 field type formats using a record’s currency precision.

  • If any of the following field types is set to hidden, the object returned is text.

    • TEXTAREA

  • DYNAMICPRECISION is controlled by NetSuite and can differ from field to field.

Syntax

Important:

The following code samples show the syntax for this member. It is not a functional example. For a complete script example, see N/format Module Script Samples.

            //Run this sample in debugger to see how values are formatted.

...
require(['N/format'], function(format) {
    Object.getOwnPropertyNames(format.Type).forEach(function(type) {
        log.debug(type, format.format({
            value: 12345,
            type: format.Type[type]
        }));
        /*use any value instead of 12345 to see how is it formatted*/
    })
}) 

          
            // Add additional code
...
function formatTimeOfDay() {
              // Assume the time format is hh:mm (24 hours) 
              var now = new Date(); // Say it's 7:01PM right now.
              var formattedTime = format.format({value: now, type: format.Type.TIMEOFDAY})  
              });
        }
...
// Add additional code 

          
            require(['N/format'],
  function(format) {

  function parseAndFormatDateString()
{
   var rawDateString = "07/28/2015";
   var parsedDate= format.parse({
       value: rawDateString,
       type: format.Type.DATE
});
   console.log(parsedDate);
}

  parseAndFormatDateString();
}
);
