currency-rates

Installation:

Currency Rates Package supports Laravel 5.5 and higher.

Package Require via composer:

• composer require abdelrahmanbadr/currency-rates
• In your .env file set exchangeratesapi url in EXCHANGE_RATES_API_URL
• In your .env file set cache enabled or disabled (true or false) CURRENCY_RATES_CACHE_IS_ENABLED
• In your .env file set expiry time for cache (integer) CURRENCY_RATES_CACHE_EXPIRY

Usage:

Let's get the rates of EUR and GBP with USD as the base currency:

use Abdelrahman_badr\CurrencyRates\Core\Facades\CurrencyService;

$currency = CurrencyService::getLatest("EUR",["GBP","USD"]);

$rates = $currency->rates;

By default, the base currency is EUR, so if that's your base, there's no need to set it. The symbols can be omitted too, as Exchange Rates Api will return all the supported currencies.

A simplified example without the base and currency:

$currency = CurrencyService::getLatest();

The historical option will return currency rates for every day since the dates you've specified. The base currency and symbols can be omitted here to, but let's see a full example:

$currency = CurrencyService::getHistorical(new \DateTime(),(new \DateTime())->modify('-15 days'),"EUR",["GBP","USD"]);

This will get available rates from 15 days ago till today

export latest rates to csv take the file name and same parameters for getLatest function

CurrencyService::exportLatest('fliename');

export historical rates to csv take the file name and same parameters for getHistorical function

CurrencyService::exportHistorical('fliename',new \DateTime(),new \DateTime("2019-01-01"));

Running Unit tests:

$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit

Nice To Have (@Todo):

1. Add Cli Command To Get Currency Exchange Rates
2- More validation for package user inputs
3- Create convert service like convert 100 USD to EUR 
4- Add more providers such as Fixerio and make config switch between them
5- Add logs to trace errors
6- Use transform layer for the result
7- Use config file
