CurrencyTextField

A Rails 2.3.x plugin to cleanly output currencies in form fields.

Installation

./script/plugin install git://github.com/nfm/currency_text_field

Usage

Configure the available currency formats in config/initializers/currency_text_field_initializer.rb (see Rails documentation for number_to_currency for available options):

CurrencyTextField.format[:default] = { :precision => 2, :unit => '$' }
CurrencyTextField.format[:pounds] = { :precision => 2, :unit => '&pound;' }

Then use currency_text_field in your form, with an optional :format argument:

- form_for @invoice do |f|
    = f.currency_text_field :total, :format => :pounds

CurrencyTextField.format[:default] will be used if you don't specify an explicit :format argument.
