Laravel Fixer.io

Provides an easy to use Laravel package for fixer.io exchange rates and currency conversion JSON API. This is basically a Laravel wrapper for ranium/fixerio-php-client.

Installation

Run the following from the root of your Laravel app

composer require ranium/laravel-fixerio

Configuration

Publish the config file

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-fixerio

Edit the config/fixerio.php and put your access key and tweak other config options as needed. Note that the secure option works only with the paid plans of fixer.io.

Usage

// Resolve the client class instance out of the service container
$fixerio = app(\Ranium\LaravelFixerio\Client::class);

// Find latest rates
$latestRates = $fixerio->latest();

echo $latestRates['rates']['INR'];

// Find historical rates
$historicalRates = $fixerio->historical(['date' => '2019-01-01']);

echo $historicalRates['rates']['INR'];

You can use the provided Facade as well

use Fixerio;

$latestRates = Fixerio::latest();

As there is a hard limit on number of requests you can make to fixer.io, this package provides an easy way to cache the responses. Default cache storage is used for caching.

Modify the config/fixerio.php to enable the caching.

'cache' => [
    'enabled' => true,
    'expire_after' => 60, // In minutes, change this as per requirement
];

You can disable cache in the runtime.

use Fixerio;

Fixerio::disableCache();

$latestRates = Fixerio::latest();

// Enable cache again for other calls
Fixerio::enableCache();

// Other calls to the API...

Please refer ranium/fixerio-php-client for all available API calls and other details.

The response for all the above calls will be a Guzzle Command Result object. Please refer fixer.io's documentation for further details about various endpoints, request parameters and response objects.
