Handles currency for Laravel 5.8.

Installation

• Currency on Packagist
• Currency on GitHub

To get the latest version of Currency simply require it in your composer.json file.

"roaderchik/currency": "dev-master"

composer require "roaderchik/currency"

You'll then need to run composer install to download it and have the autoloader updated.

Once Currency is installed you need to register the service provider with the application. Open up app/config/app.php and find the providers key.

'providers' => [

    roaderchik\Currency\CurrencyServiceProvider::class,

]

Currency also ships with a facade which provides the static syntax for creating collections. You can register the facade in the aliases key of your app/config/app.php file.

'aliases' => [

    'Currency'  => roaderchik\Currency\Facades\Currency::class,

]

Create configuration file and migration table using artisan

$ php artisan vendor:publish
