# Price format

Price format (also known as currency template) is used to define the way how prices should be displayed. The template can be set globally (in manifest `config` object) and then it can be overridden in various parts of an application (for example, in translations).

> **Default currency template:** `(currency) (amount)`

Example webapp manifest

```json
{
  "version": "1.0",
  "schema": {
    "config": {
      "currency_template": "(currency) (amount, 1.2-2, ',', ' ')"
    }
  }
}
```

There might also be case where currency symbol should be used, in that case, currency in configuration should not be changed, instead "currency" in `currency_template` should be replaced with "currencySymbol". Angular will automatically transform currency to symbol.

For example to get output like "1 234,56€" config should look like so:

```json
{
  "version": "1.0",
  "schema": {
    "config": {
      "currency_template": "(amount, 1.2-2, ',', ' ')(currencySymbol)"
    }
  }
}
```

Configuration string in most cases looks like this `(currency) (amount, 1.2-2, '.', ' ')` where:

* **`currency`** represents currency variable for example "EUR", "USD" etc.
* **`currencySymbol`** represents monetary value as a symbol transformed from currency variable with [getCurrencySymbol](https://angular.io/api/common/getCurrencySymbol) method. In "EUR" case it would be "€" etc.
* **`amount`** represents monetary value and it's format configuration sequence separated by comma (,). If some of the values use comma (,), space ( ) or quotes ("|'), then those values should be wrapped in differing quotes e.g. `","`,`"'"`, `'"'`:
  * **`DigitsInfo`** decimal representation options, specified by a string in the following format:{minIntegerDigits}.{minFractionDigits}-{maxFractionDigits}. *e.g.: `1.2-2`*
  * **`DecimalSeparator`** separator symbol for decimal point. *e.g.: `","`*
  * **`ThousandsSeparator`** separator symbol thousands. *e.g.: `"'"`*

## Customize price format on `Content` (translation) level with `asCurrency` transformer.

Sometimes there is a requirement to have a different price format in a specific content string. More information how this can be done is found in [translations](/kasko-frontend-documentation/core-concepts/translations.md) guide.
