Introduction

This package allows for converting currencies using a third party API.

Drivers

This is the list of current available drivers.

Fixer.io

the src/Datasources/FixerIO datasource uses the fixer.io service, check the https://fixer.io/documentation to get started, and set your access_secret key to start.

Free Currency Converter

the src/Datasources/CurrencyConverterAPI datasource uses the currencyconverterapi.com service, register to get an API key and check the docs.

Creating Your Own Datasources

Just implement the Converter interface and define the logic to retrieve the available rates for a given currency.

Caching

The CachingConverter is responsible for getting data from a datasource and caching it for a given time (default: +1 day). Check the tests folder for usage.

Integration

Laravel

Follow these steps:

• Bind the YouCan\CurrencyConverter\Converter interface to a given drive (Ex: Fixer.io) in your container.
• If you use Laravel 5.5+ package autodiscovery, the YouCan\CurrencyConverter\Adapters\Laravel\ConverterServiceProvider service provider will be auto registered. Otherwise, you need to add it to your providers list, and register the CurrencyConverter alias.

Now you can use the CurrencyConverter facade.
