R3.2: Monetary integer representation

Short answer: Store money as integer minor units (cents) + currency. A float cannot hold 0.1 exactly, so sums of money drift by a cent.

Group: Billing and money. Status: stable. Generated from the rule definitions; do not edit by hand.

What it catches

Monetary integer representation: store money as integer minor units (cents) + currency.

Why

A float cannot hold 0.1 exactly, so sums of money drift by a cent.

A bad example

const price = amountCents / 100;

A good example

const priceCents = amountCents;  // format when you show it

How it is checked

How to silence it

A person can silence one finding with brevio-core: ignore R3.2 -- reason on the line or the line above. Without the reason it does not count. An agent cannot silence it: the agent hook and the MCP tools never honour the comment, and a pull request that adds one is reported until a reviewer allows it. Fixing the code is still the better answer.

What the scanner already leaves alone: A file named format* or display, a component, a function named format/display* and a line that calls Intl.NumberFormat, toLocaleString or toFixed are not flagged.

A scan reads only the lines you add, so a line that was already in the file is not flagged.

To change what the rule flags, edit its definition in dev_rules.py or code_rules/__init__.py. That is a code change and is reviewed like one.
