How to get NSNumberFormatter currency style from ISOCurrencyCodes?

If I were to have EUR, or USD (both ISO currency codes), how could I make my NSNumberFormatter to properly format me a string like this?

For EUR code: 10.000,00 € For USD code: $10,000.00

I could do this by setting localeIdentifier. But I really need to get it from the ISO currency code. Is this possible?

[numberFormatter stringFromNumber: [_property price]];

Thank you!

Solution

  • Use the setCurrencyCode: method of NSNumberFormatter.

    [numberFormatter setCurrencyCode:@"EUR"];

    or

    [numberFormatter setCurrencyCode:@"USD"];

    Keep in mind that even though the desired currency symbol will be used, the resulting currency value string is still going to be formatted based on the user's locale.
