Cannot return the user's locale currency symbol by locale.

ie:

const localeUser = 'pt-br'
const numberOpts = {
      style: 'currency',
      currency: 'BRL',
    }

console.log('convert number output: ',
      new Intl.NumberFormat(localeUser, numberOpts).format(numberString) )

I want just symbol: R$ and too the symbol separated as the example: "R$ 6.542,32"

I think that's how toLocaleString is supposed to work per the ECMAScript standard.

What you probably need is formatToParts: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/NumberFormat/formatToParts (supported in Firefox 58+).
