we will create CurrencyFormatController with moneyFormat() method to convert number into currency format. so you can see the below code with output:

php artisan make:controller CurrencyFormatController

App\Http\Controllers\CurrencyFormatController

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
  
class CurrencyFormatController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $amount = $this->moneyFormat(12000);
        print($amount);
    }
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *

     */
    public function moneyFormat($amount)
    {
        return '$' . number_format($amount, 2);
    }
}

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\CurrencyFormatController;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

Route::get('format',[CurrencyFormatController::class,'index']);

Step 4: Start Development Server

php artisan serve

Now you are ready to run our example so run the below command to quick run.

http://localhost:8000/format
