Add Leading Zeros to Numbers

Contents

Overview

This article introduces how to lead a number with 0s in a field of a Kintone App.

Sample Image

An event is triggered when the focus leaves the Number field while creating or editing a record. 0s are added to the beginning of the number until it reaches a fixed digit length. The result is inserted into the Result field.

(function() {
  'use strict';
  var NUMBER = 'number'; // field code of number field
  var ZEROFILL = 'result'; // field code of text field to set result into
  var NUMOFDIGITS = 8; // number of digits for the result

  function zeroFill(value, length) {
    if (value.length >= length) {
      return value;
    }
    return (new Array(length).join('0') + value).slice(-length);
  }

  var events = ['app.record.create.change.' + NUMBER, 'app.record.edit.change.' + NUMBER];

  kintone.events.on(events, function(event) {
    var record = event.record;
    var changes = event.changes.field;
    var length = NUMOFDIGITS;
    record[ZEROFILL].value = zeroFill(changes.value, length);
    return event;
  });
}());

After saving the settings and clicking on Update App, create a new record. Fill in the Number field with numbers, and take the focus off the field. A version of the number leaded with 0s should be inserted into the Result field.
