Using number_format method in Laravel

Question

I am fairly new in Laravel and Blade templating.
Can anyone help show me how to do this?

I have a view like this:

@foreach ($Expen

Here's another way of doing it, add in app\Providers\AppServiceProvider.php

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

...

public function boot()
{
    // add Str::currency macro
    Str::macro('currency', function ($price)
    {
        return number_format($price, 2, '.', '\'');
    });
}

Then use Str::currency() in the blade templates or directly in the Expense model.

@foreach ($Expenses as $Expense)
    
        {{{ $Expense->type }}}
        {{{ $Expense->narration }}}
        {{{ Str::currency($Expense->price) }}}
        {{{ $Expense->quantity }}}
        {{{ Str::currency($Expense->amount) }}}                                                            
    
@endforeach
