About it

The converter library is a immutable drop in currencies converter that's data-agnostic..

In order for it to work, you will have to pass your repository data look up to pull in a valid information to operate on. This repository has to implement the interface CurrenciesRepositoryInterface shipped with the library

Installation

This library uses Composer to manage its dependencies. So, before using it, make sure you have it installed in your machine. Once you have done this, you will be able to pull this library in by typing the following command in your terminal.

composer require gocanto/converter

Data layer implementation

First of all, you will have to create a repository to query either your database or any other data resources where you keep your application currencies information. see example

Second of all, you will have to new up the converter passing an instance of the mentioned interface repository implementation. Like so:

use Gocanto\Converter\Examples\CurrenciesRepositoryExample;
use Gocanto\Converter\Converter;

$repository = new CurrenciesRepositoryExample;
$converter = new Converter($repository);

Note: You can bind this interface within your app service container to have automatic dependencies injection resolution.

Lastly, you just need to invoke the required methods within the converter object to set the proper values for a given currency conversion (currency from, currency to). Like so:

use Gocanto\Converter\RoundedNumber;

$conversion = $converter
    ->withAmount(RoundedNumber::make(10))
    ->withCurrency('SGD')
    ->convertTo('USD');

This operation will return a Currency Conversion object that holds all the related operations info
