Struct Plugin: Type Decimal

The Decimal type holds decimal numbers also known as float or double. Upper and lower bounds can be set through the config. The decimal point and thousands separator can be configured. Values can be rounded and trailing zeros be trimmed.

Internally values are always stored with a dot as decimal point.

Values can be entered with a dot or comma, but may not contain thousand separators.

Configuration

The following configuration is available in addition to the basic type configuration:

Config	Format	Description
format	string	A sprintf format string to output the number (should contain some variation on `%F`) The decimal point `.` will be replaced by the configured one from the `decpoint` option below.
min	integer	The number has to be at least this value. Be sure to specify decimals with a `.` as decimal point!
max	integer	The number may be at most this value. Be sure to specify decimals with a `.` as decimal point!
decpoint	char	The character to use as a decimal point in output. You probably want to use either `.` or `,`. Regardless of this setting, users may always enter values with either of the two.
