Decimal and thousands separator for steps( SDK fitbit)

[Radudude]

I could not find an answer to this problem and as I am not a very experienced programmer I was wondering how i can make my steps have a point or a comma. For example 10.256 steps or 10,256 steps. It's a lot nicer than just showing 10256 steps. 

I have this code   lblSteps.text = today.local.steps ; but not sure how to make it insert a . or , for steps over a thousand. 

Thanks in advance for the help.

Kind regards

Moving to SDK forum for proper answer. Was originally posted in the Ionic forum.

toLocaleString is the key I think ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Number/toLocaleStri...)

Try something like

let stepsCount = today.local.steps ;
lblSteps.text = stepsCount.toLocaleString("en-US");

Number representation being locale dependant. That opens an interesting question into localization support on fitbit OS.

Thanks a lot, that did the trick =D!

Edit this is actually working on the watch (but the parameter is ignored, the local formatting is always used)

This is actually not working for languages other than US it seems. It will only show "," regardless of the user preferences.

I'm also curious as to how formatting should be done. The Layers default watchface will correctly separate thousands according to the locale
