I am comparing two strings with a currency that seems to be the same. One is created with toLocaleString() and the other by declaring a static string. Both put out the same value on the console, but every compare method fails for them.
Any idea why this is not working? This is blowing my mind! I am not sure if it is the euro symbol...
const localStringValue = (2).toLocaleString('de', {style: 'currency', maximumFractionDigits: 2, currency: 'EUR'});
const stringValue = '2,00 €';
console.log('local string: ', localStringValue);
console.log('string: ', stringValue);
console.log('strict compare', localStringValue === stringValue);
console.log('compare', localStringValue == stringValue);
console.log('locale compare', localStringValue.localeCompare(stringValue));Value and currency is separated by non-breaking space in localStringValue, but in stringValue it's normal space.
const localStringValue = (2).toLocaleString('de', {
style: 'currency',
maximumFractionDigits: 2,
currency: 'EUR'
});
const stringValue = '2,00 €';
console.log('local string: ', localStringValue, encodeURIComponent(localStringValue));
console.log(' string: ', stringValue, encodeURIComponent(stringValue));
