how to use the tolocalestring function from lodash in javascript

The toLocaleString function from Lodash can be used to format numbers according to the rules of a specified locale. Here's an example:

index.tsx
const _ = require('lodash');

const number = 123456.789;

console.log(_.toLocaleString(number, {
  locale: 'en-US', // set the locale to US English
  minimumFractionDigits: 2, // set minimum fraction digits to 2
  maximumFractionDigits: 2 // set maximum fraction digits to 2
}));
// Output: "123,456.79"
304 chars
11 lines

In the example above, we used the _.toLocaleString function to format the number variable according to the rules of the US English locale. We also specified that we want to display a minimum of 2 fraction digits and a maximum of 2 fraction digits.

By default, _.toLocaleString will format the number according to the user's locale, but you can pass a specific locale value to format the number according to the rules of that locale. You can find a full list of available locales in the Lodash documentation.
