Localize your frontend!

Shows how a real frontend handles locale formatting: an Angular number filter wired into form inputs that formats decimals and currency on the fly but disallows negative values in the demo, exposing UX bugs. It relies on Google Closure for separators and falls back to the ECMAScript Intl API polyfill because mobile Safari and many browsers lack full support. Notes handling for 81 currencies, different decimal/group separators, and the need for input-formatting directives rather than backend-only formatting.
