Objective-C Realtime Currency Formatter

An extremely simple Objective-C class for formatting currencies. Ready to work with the UITextFieldDelegate and format currencies while typing.

How to use

• Download or clone this repository
• Copy BBRealTimeCurrencyFormatter.h and BBRealTimeCurrencyFormatter.m to your project
• Import BBRealTimeCurrencyFormatter.h on your implementation file (.m extension!)
• Ensure your controller conforms to the UITextFieldDelegate protocol
• Implement the UITextFieldDelegate method textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString: and invoke the BBRealTimeCurrencyFormatter's method textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString:
• Done!

Example

// MyViewController.m

//#import "MyViewController.h"
#import "BBRealTimeCurrencyFormatter.h" //Import the BBRealTime class

// Ensure it conforms to the UITextFieldDelegate protocol
@interface ViewController () <UITextFieldDelegate>
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *tfCurrency; //UITextField that will receive the formatted string
@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [[self tfCurrency] setDelegate:self]; // Ensure the field delegates its events to this controller
}

//Implement UITextFieldDelegate method
- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string{

    //Format the textfiled
    [BBRealTimeCurrencyFormatter textField:textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:range replacementString:string];
    return NO;
}

@end
