How to add Comma separated Thousands to Number Input?

I’d like to add comma separated thousands to number input tag in hybrid app.
How can i implement it?

@wann2 The best way in my experience is to use localString. Here are some examples:

var number = 1557564534;
number.toLocaleString();

There are options for currency:

var number = 1234567.22
number.toLocaleString("en-US",{style:"currency", currency:"USD"});

All the options can be found here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Number/toLocaleString

@munsterlander said:

.toLocaleString()

Thanks a lot for information. It is helpful.

May I ask you one more thing?
I’d like to implement the comma separated thousands when I input numbers inside INPUT tag or after input numbers.
In web, i used keyup or blur event, but in hybrid it doesn;t work.

@wann2 I am making an example:

function formatValue(){
   var x = Number(document.getElementById('myText').value);
   document.getElementById('myText2').value = x.toLocaleString();
}

<input type="text" id="myText" oninput="formatValue()" />
<input type="text" id="myText2"  />

This works, but if you are changing it on the same input as a person is typing, it throws an error due to the non-numeric characters. You would need to remove those items first or change the event to something like onblur.

function formatValue(){
   var x = Number(document.getElementById('myText').value);
   document.getElementById('myText').value = x.toLocaleString();
}

<input type="text" id="myText" onblur="formatValue()" />

Either way, in the start of the function there definitely should be a sanitizing component to strip non-numeric characters.
