Use comma as separator - Mapstore Widgets

[Jose Cáceres]

  Hi everyone,

I'm running Mapbox inside a GeoNode instance as a GIS client, and I have a map that uses the counter widget to track damages caused by Hurricane IOTA in here: https://geoportalouot.unah.edu.hn/maps/147/view

However, the counter uses point as a thousand separator, as seen in the attached picture (mapbox01.png)

The number should be read as three hundred and forty eight thousand people affected. Since we use point as a decimal separator, this may cause some confusion between our users as they may think is  hree hundred and forty eight point...,  and I would like to change the point to a comma.

I found that in the examples shown in the Widget page of mapstore (https://mapstore.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/widgets/), it uses comma (Mapbox02.png)

But I haven't found where I could make that change.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

José

Hi Josè,

I'm running Mapbox inside a GeoNode instance as a GIS client, and I have a map that uses the counter widget to track damages caused by Hurricane IOTA in here: https://geoportalouot.unah.edu.hn/maps/147/view
However, the counter uses point as a thousand separator, as seen in the attached picture 

I took a look to the link you provided and the counters are using comma separator because my browesr is currently set to English language



it shows dot separator after changing language of the browser to Italian



The number inside the Counter are formatted based on the localization in use

- CounterView https://github.com/geosolutions-it/MapStore2/blob/2021.01.xx/web/client/components/widgets/widget/CounterView.jsx#L25
- Number https://github.com/geosolutions-it/MapStore2/blob/2021.01.xx/web/client/components/I18N/Number.jsx#L24

The number should be read as three hundred and forty eight thousand people affected. Since we use point as a decimal separator, this may cause some confusion between our users as they may think is  hree hundred and forty eight point...,  and I would like to change the point to a comma.

So it's not currently possible to force a type of format via configuration for the counter because it will take the format based on the locale.

Hope this could help,
Kind Regards,

Stefano
