intl NumberFormatter about polyfill HOT 9 CLOSED

symfony/intl does have a NumberFormatter implementation. I didn't check, but is commerceguys' better?
As far as I read correctly, both symfony/intl and commerceguys/intl provide polyfilling and add features on top. It would be great to have the pure polyfill part of each here. Would someone like to give it a try?

No, the symfony/intl one doesn't do any actual formatting, it just tries to mimic the API.
The commerceguys one uses the CLDR/ICU number formats the do the same formatting the intl extension does.

Then it could be interesting to have ext-intl ∩ (commerceguys/intl ∪ symfony/intl) here if someone wants to work on it!

Merging the two NumberFormatters (to get the API and the logic) is a small task.

The bigger one is figuring out what to do with the data storage, since this repo would need to ship with the CLDR / ICU currency and number format data. That was previously symfony/intl territory*, so it needs discussion.

*symfony/intl ships with the currency data, but not with the number format data. There's an open issue about that.

it is possible to get access to the data by using ext-intl only? if yes, we could move it here and make symfony/intl free from them (and rely only on the ext-intl interfaces, polyfilled or not)

from polyfill.

No, it's not. Both commerceguys/intl and symfony/intl have scripts that parse the data (downloaded from CLDR or ICU) and output JSON definitions.

@bojanz would you like to submit a PR here adding NumberFormatter?

from polyfill.

I won't have time for that in the foreseeable future, sorry.

How, no pb. Closing then.
