Bugfix

What is the current behavior?

Input (string) : "123456789.123456789"
Format : 0.0-9
Output :   123,456,789.12345679 // 7(8)9 -> 8 is lost..
Expected : 123,456,789.123456789

angular/packages/common/src/pipes/number_pipe.ts

Lines 104 to 105 in d315e2c

    
           const num = strToNumber(value); 
        
           return formatNumber(num, locale, digitsInfo);

Currently, decimal_pipe parse string to number first and then apply formating
- ⚠️ When parse '123456789.123456789' string to number, some digit on fraction part is lost due to javascript floating point limitation
Issue Number: Decimal Pipe not formatting value correctly #47809
- Reproduce: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ivy-ycarro?file=src/app/app.component.html

What is the new behavior?

        const formatStrs = [integerPart, fractionPart]
            .map(part => strToNumber(part))
            .map(num => formatNumber(num, locale, digitsInfo));

To format string to number on javascript well, apply formatting on integer/fraction part separately and then concat, return it.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No

+      // e.g. '123456789.123456789'
+      if (typeof value === 'string' && value.includes('.')) {
+        const parts = value.split('.');
+        if (parts.length != 2) {


The condition doesn't cover every non valid string, we should likely rely on strToNumber to throw.

if (typeof value === 'string' && value.includes('.') && strToNumber(value)) { const parts = value.split('.'); const integerPart = parts[0]; const fractionPart = `0.${parts[1]}`; ..

Hmm you mean calling strToNumber(value) inside of if(..)?
Or can you give some example code? 🙇

Cause parts is array of string, we can't pass it to strToNumber(string) directly 🤔

We can either call strToNumber() or probably better, extract the portion we'd like to reuse in a function :

function isStringNumber(value: number|string): boolean { return typeof value === 'string' && !isNaN(Number(value) - parseFloat(value)) }

aha~ I understood. isStringNumber looks much better! thanks for nice suggestion 👍

Per #47809

After discussing it more recently with the team and given little to not interest shown from the community, we decided to not diverge from the native javascript behavior and keep the Decimal Pipe as is.
