从货币代码获取货币符号的API或angularjs服务

Question

I'm looking for a service that when getting the currency code (from a database) will return the currency symbol.

Since it could be any country. I can't just do this :

{{product.price | currency: '£' }}

Example :

{{product.price | currency: 'EUR' }}   200 £
 {{product.price | currency: 'USD' }}   200 $
 {{product.price | currency: 'LAK' }}   200 ₭

is there any api that do this ? I can't change the database and add 100+ symbols.

You can resolve this by using a simple currency code / symbol map along the lines of:

currencySymbol = {
  'EUR': '€',
  'USD': '$',
  ...
}

then you use it by just referencing currencySymbol['USD']

several npm libraries offer you the exact same functionality with a broad list of currency symbols, such as currency-symbol-map
