# HTML::FormFu::Element::Number(3pm)

Number element with formatting

## NAME

HTML::FormFu::Element::Number - Number element with formatting

## VERSION

version 2.07

## SYNOPSIS

```
  ---
  elements:
    - type: Number
      locale: de_DE
      precision: 2
      trailing_zeroes: 1
```

## DESCRIPTION

This element formats numbers according to the current locale. You can set this locale either by setting `"$form->locale"` or by setting the element's locale. If none of them is set the element uses the system's locale.

## METHODS

### locale

Set the locale for this element. The format of the number is chosen according to this locale.

### precision

Set the precision for the number. Defaults to `2`.

### trailing\_zeroes

If this is set to `1` the number has trailing zeroes. Defaults to `0`.

### CHANGED BEHAVIOUR AS OF VERSION 0.09011

Previous to version 0.09011, this element generated an input field with `"type="number""` attribute which was not valid xhtml. Neither was the formatted numbers valid html5 - which expects the value to be a floating-point number. This element now generates a `"type="text""` attribute.
