- How to format money in ReactCurrency formatting looks like a solved problem until the first JPY amount, the first negative, and the first value you do not have. This is the whole method, in the order the bugs arrive.
- Negative numbers in a financial tableParentheses instead of a minus sign, the real minus where a sign is right, and the column that stays aligned when the sign changes. Three rules, one of which almost nobody implements.
- How to align numbers in a tableRight-aligned is not aligned. Tabular figures, case-shifted parentheses, decimal alignment, a reserved sign column and rules that carry the arithmetic.
- How to build a general ledger table in ReactThe data grid is the easy part. What makes a ledger table a ledger table is two amount columns, a visible balance check, and an entry you can reverse but never edit.
- Choosing a React component library for finance softwareThere are good dashboard kits, good data grids and good fintech templates. There is very little that knows what a currency is. This is the honest comparison, including where you should not use this one.
