extend with new currency (crypto)

[StErMi]

Is it possible to extend the number of currency supported via code?

You mean you want to add a missing currency? If so, we gladly accept PR's to currencies.json, and localeFormats.json :smile:

I would like to add missing currency for cryptos. Is there a way to add it only for me? I don't think everyone would be interested.

@StErMi a PR is just a simple step, but maybe you are out of the time, if you wan to register a currency you could do it liek this

const currencyFormatter = require('currency-formatter');

// suppose you are using a Bitcoin symbol like this 'BIT'

// get the default currency options
const defaults = currencyFormatter.defaultCurrency;
// add your custom currency options
const customCurrency = { symbol: 'BIT', code: 'BIT', format: '%v %s' } // where %v is for value and %s is for symbol

// merge your currency options

const myCurrency = { defaults..., ...customCurrency };

// and finally you can call the formatter like usually you do

currencyFormatter.format(2320, myCurrency)
