I am using multiple currencies in my project and I have the currency ISO code. But the problem is, I want to get the symbol for currencies other than user locale. Is there any solution available for this? Example :

in Lighting JS $A.get('$locale.currency') will return the user locale currency. I want to get the symbol for other currencies which are available in my org, Like Euro, Yen, etc.

    At what point of time would you want to get the other currencies displayed? Like how do you choose if USD vs. Euro vs. Yen should be displayed?

  • @TariqueShamim - what I did was just create a simple JS map of currency code to symbol. You can get a map from github.com/bengourley/currency-symbol-map/blob/master/map.js, for example. If you want it as a utility to use throughout your project, consider making a simple js module out of it, or include it in a utils module.

lightning:formattedNumber allows you to pass a currency code dynamically and will render the appropriate symbol. All you need to do is in the init method set the currencyCode attribute to the current users iso code

example:

<lightning:formattedNumber value="10.00" style="currency" currencyCode="{!v.currencyCode}"/>

will render as $10.00 if the users ISO code is USD

Heres a link to the documentation

    I know to use this one in lightning. But if I am using it on a chart which is created using using the chartJS library, then I need to show it on the charts. So, I will need some method which returns currencyISOSymbol for the code, so that I can set it on the chart.

Yes, there is a solution to get the symbol for other currencies in Salesforce. You can use the $Locale.getCurrencySymbol(currencyIsoCode) method in Lightning JS to get the currency symbol for a specific currency ISO code. Here's an example:

var currencyIsoCode = "EUR";
var currencySymbol = $A.get("$Locale.getCurrencySymbol(currencyIsoCode)");
console.log(currencySymbol); // Output: "€"

Note: This method returns the currency symbol for the currency ISO code specified in the currencyIsoCode variable. It does not return the user locale currency symbol.
