how to print -314% in home page using pi value=3.14 in slightly

[Jangra98]

Hi @vinuu123 

It can be written as {#% @format=piValue}. For more details you can go through this HTL Specs .

@vinuu123 Use HTL Number format [1], documentation says:

The formatting pattern supports both a positive and negative pattern, separated by semicolon. Each sub-pattern can have a prefix, a numeric part and a suffix. The negative sub-pattern can only change the prefix or/and suffix. The following characters are supported, at minimum:

• 0 - digit, shows as 0 if absent
• # - digit, does not show if absent
• . - decimal separator
• - - minus sign
• , - grouping separator
• E - separator between mantissa and exponent
• ; - sub-pattern boundary
• % - multiply by 100 and show as percentage

Characters can be escaped in prefix or suffix using single quotes. Single quotes are escaped as two in a row.

Examples:

${'#,###.00' @ format=1000}
${'#.###;-#.###' @ format=obj.number}
${'#.00;(#.00)' @ format=obj.number}
${'#.000E00' @ format=obj.number}
${'#%' @ format=obj.number}
${ 'curr #,###.##' @ format=1000.14, locale='de_CH', i18n}

will generate the following output if obj.number evaluates to -3.14:

1,000.00
-3.14
(3.14)
-.314E01
-314%
CHF 1'000.14 <!--/* assuming the formatter 'curr #,###.##' will be translated to 'CHF #,###.##' for the 'de_CH' locale by i18n */-->

Hi @vinuu123 ,

Arithmetic Operation is not possible in Sightly, You have to handle this from the backend using Java or JavaScript API.

As Suggested by @Mohit_KBansal , You can use a format pattern to show the percentage and fetching value from the backend.

Please refer to the below useful links:
