[Question] Is FormatProvider used ?

[StefH]

Related to this old question:
#344

The model:

var culture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US");
var jsonSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings
        {
            Culture = culture
        };
var model = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject("{ \"id\": 0.005 }", jsonSettings);

The template:

"test {{id}}"

Handlebars created like:

var config = new HandlebarsConfiguration
{
    FormatProvider = culture
};
var handlebars = HandlebarsDotNet.Handlebars.Create(config);

Execute the template:

var template = Handlebars.Compile(text);
var result = template(model);

And the result is:

"test 0,005" // <-- It's formatted using my local culture (Dutch) and not en-US?

@zjklee or @rexm : do you have an idea on this?

@StefH Please ignore my first "solution" the actual solution is to deserialize into an ExpandObject, that still allows you to support dynamic values.

So your code should look like the following

var culture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US");
var model = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ExpandObject>("{ \"id\": 0.005 }");
