Using JavaScript, what is correct approach to replace the dot to comma (For EU currency), for example:

2000.65 would be 2000,65 instead of 2,000.65

39.20 would be 39,20

I am not sure if cost.replace('.', ',') is the right way. Is there a better option?

    Sounds like a localization problem. There might be js native solutions. – Zim84 Feb 18 '19 at 10:09

You can use Intl.NumberFormat

const n = 2000.65;

console.log(new Intl.NumberFormat('de-DE', {
  style: 'currency',
  currency: 'EUR'
}).format(n));

There are some more options available, like showing the thousand seperator or not, or displaying the € sign or not. Below will only display the number in european notation, without thousands separator.

const n = 2000.65;

console.log(new Intl.NumberFormat('de-DE', {
   useGrouping: false,
}).format(n));

Try using toLocaleString()

Example:

    var d = 1000000.54;
    var n = d.toLocaleString(); // output would be 1,000,000.54
    console.log(n);
