Question

You are building a PCF field component that displays currency values and must format numbers according to the user's language and locale settings in the model-driven app. You need to retrieve the user's current formatting information (such as decimal and currency symbols) at runtime without making a Web API call. Which member of the component context should you use?

Accepted Answer

context.userSettings, which exposes numberFormattingInfo and dateFormattingInfo for the current user

Answer

context.utils.getEntityMetadata to read the currency attribute's precision settings

Answer

context.webAPI.retrieveRecord against the usersettings table to read locale fields

Answer

context.parameters, binding a second input property that passes the raw format string
