NumberTool (Atlassian Jira - Server 8.13.14 API)

java.lang.Object
- 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.

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

    format(String format, Object obj, Locale locale)

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
