Price (in pence) field - show result in pounds in suffix/or somewhere else that's sensible

Hi, I am attempting to let a user enter a price in pence, and then show them the converted amount in pounds in a clean and simple way. I hace tried the following but unfortunately the suffix doesn't get updated.

Forms\Components\TextInput::make('price')
    ->label('Price (in pence)')
    ->numeric()
    ->live()
    ->suffix(function($record) {
        return '£'.number_format($record->price / 100, 2);
    }),

Forms\Components\TextInput::make('price')
    ->label('Price (in pence)')
    ->numeric()
    ->live()
    ->suffix(function($record) {
        return '£'.number_format($record->price / 100, 2);
    }),

Any ideas on how I could achieve someting like this? Thanks!

We had this tutorial: https://laraveldaily.com/post/filament-input-prefix-suffix-dynamic-based-on-other-input - not specifically your case because it's for MULTIPLE fields, but maybe would work for you, too, please try

@Ralph Morris A working example combining ^ tutorial and your code:

Forms\Components\TextInput::make('price')
    ->label('Price (in cents)')
    ->numeric()
    ->live()
    ->suffix(function (Forms\Get $get) {
        return 'EUR ' . number_format($get('price') / 100, 2);
    })
    ->required(),

Forms\Components\TextInput::make('price')
    ->label('Price (in cents)')
    ->numeric()
    ->live()
    ->suffix(function (Forms\Get $get) {
        return 'EUR ' . number_format($get('price') / 100, 2);
    })
    ->required(),

You need to use Filament form Get instead of record, as your record might not yet exist on create.

I use a plugin for this: https://filamentphp.com/plugins/pelmered-money-field User enters an amount in £ (or your chosen currency) and then it converts to pennies on save.
