Issue with precision about currency.js HOT 2 CLOSED

In order to display the full decimal precision you have to convert it to a string, javascript by default doesn't assign any kind of decimal precision to primitive numerical values. currency.js typically depends on type coercion in order to get the right value:

const value = currency(123.40)
console.log(value.toString()) // "123.40"
console.log(value.format())   // "$123.40"
console.log(value.value)      // 123.4
console.log(value.intValue)   // 12340
console.log(value)            
// -> [Object] (this will be the currency.js object itself with all its methods/properties

So if you were to do something like document.getElementById('#input').value = currency(value) it would use the toString method to always display the full decimal precision.

I can certainly see how the documentation can be misleading, so I'm definitely open to improvements to make this more clear.

Yep, that now makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the clarification!
