## Usage

The number formatting logic is handled by the native `Intl.NumberFormat` API and
smartly cached to avoid performance issues when using the same locale and
options.

```jsx
import { FormatNumber } from "@chakra-ui/react"
```

```jsx
<FormatNumber value={1000} />
```

## Examples

### Percentage

Use the `style=percentage` prop to change the number format to percentage.

<ExampleTabs name="format-number-with-percentage" />

### Currency

Use the `style=currency` prop to change the number format to currency.

<ExampleTabs name="format-number-with-currency" />

### Locale

Wrap the `FormatNumber` component within the `LocaleProvider` to change the
locale.

<ExampleTabs name="format-number-with-locale" />

### Unit

Use the `style=unit` prop to change the number format to unit.

<ExampleTabs name="format-number-with-unit" />

### Compact Notation

Use the `notation=compact` prop to change the number format to compact notation.

<ExampleTabs name="format-number-with-compact" />

## Props

The `FormatNumber` component supports all `Intl.NumberFormat` options in
addition to the following props:

<PropTable component="Format" part="Number" />
