Laravel Blade form money/currency format

Question

I am building a form in Laravel (4.2) with Blade.

There are many options for input types. But, how do I set in input field set as an currency field? When I want to enter the money I paid for a product for example?

{{ Form::label('money', 'money:') }}
{{ Form::number('money') }}

I wanted the input field to become a number with a comma for separation and two digits after it:

€ |input field here|,|inputfield for digits|

I want it to display like. € 150 , 54

Can you tell me what to do, please? An explanation with link to some docs would be great! The Laravel docs at http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/html#number aren't really helpfull

Thanks in advance!

Solution

I know it's not the "Laravel" way of doing that, but if you're looking for a nice, clean way to show your customers the currency in a format you can than process on your server side i would recommend using jQuery formatcurrency:

Than, if you want to make it a nice looking currency input on blur just use:

     $('.currency').blur(function()
            {
                $('.currency').formatCurrency();
            });

I know it's now perfect, but it worked for me and i loved it :)

Thanks a lot! My programming style isn't the cleanest. I often look for hacks or other ways to do so, so this helps me a lot! Thanks :-)
