Class NumberTool

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.atlassian.jira.util.velocity.NumberTool

public class NumberTool
extends Object

This class is stolen borrowed from Apache's velocity tools.

If we need more tools in future, we should look at importing this instead

Tool for working with Number in Velocity templates. It is useful for accessing and formatting arbitrary Number objects. Also the tool can be used to retrieve NumberFormat instances or make conversions to and from various number types.

 Example uses:
  $myNumber                            -> 13.55
  $number.format('currency',$myNumber) -> $13.55
  $number.format('integer',$myNumber)  -> 13
 

Example toolbox.xml config (if you want to use this with VelocityView): <tool> <key>number</key> <scope>application</scope> <class>org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.NumberTool</class> </tool>

This tool is entirely threadsafe, and has no instance members. It may be used in any scope (request, session, or application). As such, the methods are highly interconnected, and overriding key methods provides an easy way to create subclasses that use a non-default format or locale.

Field Detail

DEFAULT_FORMAT

public static final String DEFAULT_FORMAT
The default format to be used when none is specified.

Constant Field Values
Constructor Detail

NumberTool

public NumberTool()
Default constructor.


NumberTool

public NumberTool(Locale locale)
Method Detail

getLocale

public Locale getLocale()
This implementation returns the default locale. Subclasses may override this to return alternate locales. Please note that doing so will affect all formatting methods where no locale is specified in the parameters.

Returns:
the default Locale

getFormat

public String getFormat()
Return the pattern or style to be used for formatting numbers when none is specified. This implementation gives a 'default' number format. Subclasses may override this to provide a different default format.

NOTE: At some point in the future it may be feasible to configure this value via the toolbox definition, but at present, it is not possible to specify custom tool configurations there. For now you should just override this in a subclass to have a different default.


format

public String format(Object obj)
Converts the specified object to a number and formats it according to the pattern or style returned by getFormat().

Parameters:
obj - the number object to be formatted
Returns:
the specified number formatted as a string
See Also:
format(String format, Object obj, Locale locale)

format

public String format(String format,
                     Object obj)
Converts the specified object to a number and returns a formatted string representing that number in the locale returned by getLocale().

Parameters:
format - the formatting instructions
obj - the number object to be formatted
Returns:
a formatted string for this locale representing the specified number or null if the parameters are invalid
See Also:
format(String format, Object obj, Locale locale)

format

public String format(String format,
                     Object obj,
                     Locale locale)
Converts the specified object to a number and returns a formatted string representing that number in the specified Locale.

Parameters:
format - the custom or standard pattern to be used
obj - the number object to be formatted
locale - the Locale to be used when formatting
Returns:
a formatted string representing the specified number or null if the parameters are invalid

getNumberFormat

public NumberFormat getNumberFormat(String format,
                                    Locale locale)
Returns a NumberFormat instance for the specified format and Locale. If the format specified is a standard style pattern, then a number instance will be returned with the number style set to the specified style. If it is a custom format, then a customized NumberFormat will be returned.

Parameters:
format - the custom or standard formatting pattern to be used
locale - the Locale to be used
Returns:
an instance of NumberFormat
See Also:
NumberFormat

getNumberFormat

protected NumberFormat getNumberFormat(int numberStyle,
                                       Locale locale)
Returns a NumberFormat instance for the specified number style and Locale.

Parameters:
numberStyle - the number style (number will be ignored if this is less than zero or the number style is not recognized)
locale - the Locale to be used
Returns:
an instance of NumberFormat or null if an instance cannot be constructed with the given parameters

getStyleAsInt

protected int getStyleAsInt(String style)
Checks a string to see if it matches one of the standard NumberFormat style patterns: NUMBER, CURRENCY, PERCENT, INTEGER, or DEFAULT. if it does it will return the integer constant for that pattern. if not, it will return -1.

Parameters:
style - the string to be checked
Returns:
the int identifying the style pattern

NumberFormat

toNumber

public Number toNumber(Object obj)
Converts an object to an instance of Number using the format returned by getFormat() and the Locale returned by getLocale() if the object is not already an instance of Number.

Parameters:
obj - the number to convert
Returns:
the object as a Number or null if no conversion is possible

toNumber

public Number toNumber(String format,
                       Object obj)
Converts an object to an instance of Number using the specified format and the Locale returned by getLocale() if the object is not already an instance of Number.

Parameters:
format - - the format the number is in
obj - - the number to convert
Returns:
the object as a Number or null if no conversion is possible
See Also:
toNumber(String format, Object obj, Locale locale)

toNumber
