FromDecimalChar |
Convert a number from using any character other than a period (dot) to
one which does use a period.This is useful for allowing numeric user
input in regions where a comma is used as the decimal character. Use with
a set formatter.
| |
IfEmpty |
Convert an empty string to `null`. Null values are very useful in
databases, but HTTP variables have no way of representing `null` as a
value, often leading to an empty string and null overlapping. This method
will check the value to operate on and return null if it is empty.

Implode |

used to store in a text field in a database.

NullEmpty |

value, often leading to an empty string and null overlapping. This method
will check the value to operate on and return null if it is empty.

ToDecimalChar |
Convert a number with a period (dot) as the decimal character to use
a different character(typically a comma). Use with a get formatter.
