Currency Converter is a Library which helps you to convert a number from a currency to an another one. The converter uses provider for converting the number. Each provider embed the logic for converting this number.

Installation

Currency Converter is still in development and doesn't have stable version for now.

Install Currency Converter through Composer

Create a composer.json file in your project with this content :

{
    "require": {
        "thelia/currency-converter": "~1.0"
    } 

}

Usage

First, instantiate a Provider of your choice

$provider = new \Thelia\CurrencyConverter\Provider\ECBProvider();

Then inject it in the CurrencyConverter

$currencyConverty = new \Thelia\CurrencyConverter\CurrencyConverter($provider);

Your CurrencyConverter is now ready to be used. This library works with ISO Code 4217 currency.

Example :

$baseValue = new \Thelia\Math\Number('1');

$convertedValue = $currencyConverter
    ->from('EUR')
    ->to('USD')
    ->convert($baseValue);
    
echo $baseValue->getNumber(); //1.24

Providers

A provider implements a simple interface and contains all the logic for converting a Number from a Currency to an other one. Most of time a provider will use a webservice for getting the exchange rate between two currencies.
