Comma instead of dot – javascript
Hello,
I need to transform the “dot” in a “comma” in this expresion used in a Bar Graph.
I’ve tried to put “.toLocaleString(‘de-DE’)” before and after this line – “.toFixed(textNumOfDecimals” but it doesn’t work – or i don’t do it correctly.
If i change “.toFixed(textNumOfDecimals” to “.toLocaleString(‘de-DE’)” it works but i’ve lost decimals… so it doesn’t help me.
Sorry for my english is not my first language, and thanks in advance for help!
const textValue = thisComp.layer(“CONTROLS”).effect(“Text – Animated Value”)(1).value;
const textNumOfDecimals = thisComp.layer(“CONTROLS”).effect(“Text – Number of Decimals”)(1).value;
const textHigh = thisComp.layer(“CONTROLS”).effect(“Text – High Limit”)(1).value;
const textLow = thisComp.layer(“CONTROLS”).effect(“Text – Low Limit”)(1).value;
const textSize = thisComp.layer(“CONTROLS”).effect(“Text – Size”)(1).value;
thisLayer.text.sourceText.style
.setText(thisLayer.clamp(textValue, textLow, textHigh).toFixed(textNumOfDecimals) + “%”)
.setFontSize(textSize)

Hi Tiberiu,
try this:
.setText((thisLayer.clamp(textValue, textLow, textHigh)/100).toLocaleString("de-DE", {style: "percent", minimumFractionDigits: textNumOfDecimals, maximumFractionDigits: textNumOfDecimals})) -
BTW, the German convention is to use a space between the number and the %: “12,34 %”, if you don’t want that, nl_NL has the convention to not use a space: “12,34%”

Thank you Filip!!
It work very well. Also thanks for the nl_NL convention. -
Help me with something else:
Let’s say i want to get rid of “percent” and instead to fill with some text that i enter in another “guide layer” .
Someting like this:
const textValue = thisComp.layer(“CONTROLS”).effect(“Text – Animated Value”)(1).value;
const textNumOfDecimals = thisComp.layer(“CONTROLS”).effect(“Text – Number of Decimals”)(1).value;
const textHigh = thisComp.layer(“CONTROLS”).effect(“Text – High Limit”)(1).value;
const textLow = thisComp.layer(“CONTROLS”).effect(“Text – Low Limit”)(1).value;
const textSize = thisComp.layer(“CONTROLS”).effect(“Text – Size”)(1).value;
thisLayer.text.sourceText.style
.setText((thisLayer.clamp(textValue, textLow, textHigh)/100).toLocaleString(“nl-NL”, {style: “percent”, minimumFractionDigits: textNumOfDecimals, maximumFractionDigits: textNumOfDecimals}) + thisComp.layer(“Text”).text.sourceText)
.setFontSize(textSize)
P.S.: i really need an java/ae expression course…
Thx!
