The getLocaleCurrencySymbol is used to get the currency symbol for the given locale.

getLocaleCurrencySymbol(locale: string): string | null

NgModule: Module used by getLocaleCurrencySymbol is:

Approach: 

  • Create the angular app to be used
  • In app.module.ts import LOCALE_ID because we need locale to be imported for using get getLocaleCurrencySymbol.
import { LOCALE_ID, NgModule } from '@angular/core';
  • In app.component.ts import getLocaleCurrencySymbol and LOCALE_ID
  • inject LOCALE_ID as a public variable.
  • In app.component.html show the local variable using string interpolation
  • serve the angular app using ng serve to see the output.

Parameters:
