README

A simple Laravel package to retrieve information from the Bank of Italy.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require offline-agency/laravel-bank-of-italy

You need to publish config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="OfflineAgency\LaravelBankOfItaly\LaravelBankOfItalyServiceProvider"

Usage

Currently, the package provides a method to retrieve exchange rates between currencies.

Basic

$exchange_rate = new ExchangeRate();
$exchange_rates = $exchange_rate->getExchangeRates();

foreach ($exchange_rates->getItems() as $exchange_rate) {
    dd($exchange_rate); 
    /*
     OfflineAgency\LaravelBankOfItaly\Entities\ExchangeRate\ExchangeRate {
        +currency: "Dollaro USA"
        +currencyIsoCode: "USD"
        +currencyUicCode: "001"
        +rate: "1.0724"
        +rateConvention: "Quantità di valuta estera per 1 Euro"
        +referenceDate: "Y-m-d"
     }
     */
}

In this example, the method getExchangeRates() returns an instance of OfflineAgency\LaravelBankOfItaly\Entities\ExchangeRate\ExchangeRates. You can use the getItems() method to retrieve an array of ExchangeRate objects. Each ExchangeRate object contains the following properties:

• currency: The name of the currency (e.g., "Dollaro USA")
• currencyIsoCode: The ISO code of the currency (e.g., "USD")
• currencyUicCode: The UIC code of the currency (e.g., "001")
• rate: The exchange rate (e.g., "1.0724")
• rateConvention: The rate convention (e.g., "Quantità di valuta estera per 1 Euro")
• referenceDate: The reference date of the rate (format: Y-m-d)

Custom Query Parameters

You can also provide custom query parameters to filter the results. Here are the fields you can specify:

$exchange_rate = new ExchangeRate();
$response = $exchange_rate->getExchangeRates([
    'lang' => 'en', // Default: it
    'baseCurrencyIsoCode' => 'EUR', // Default: USD
    'currencyIsoCode' => 'ITL', // Default: EUR (accepted values: EUR, USD, ITL)
    'startDate' => '01-01-2000', // Default: Carbon::now()->subYear() (format: Y-m-d)
    'endDate' => '01-01-2000' // Default: Carbon::now() (format: Y-m-d)
]);

Error Handling

• If there is a validation error, the method returns an instance of Illuminate\Support\MessageBag.
• If there is an error during the API call, the method returns an instance of OfflineAgency\LaravelBankOfItaly\Entities\Error, which contains an error property.
