This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    "currency" => [
        'default' => 'USD',

Optionally, you can publish the views using

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-toolkit-views"

Currency

The Laravel Currency Toolkit makes it easy to implement multi-currency pricing into your application and store the exchange data for fast real-time conversions.

Usage

The simplest way to use these methods is through the helper function currency() or by using the facade. For the examples below we will use the helper method.

Converting

This is a shortcut to the most commonly used convert method, which converts the given amount into the provided currency.

currency($amount, $from = null, $to = null, $format = true)

Arguments:

$amount - The float amount to convert $from - The current currency code of the amount. If not set, the application default will be used (see config/notchpay-toolkit.php file). $to - The currency code to convert the amount to. If not set, the user-set currency is used. $format - Should the returned value be formatted.

Usage:

echo currency(12.00);               // Will format the amount using the user selected currency
echo currency(12.00, 'USD', 'EUR'); // Will format the amount from the default currency to EUR

Formatting

Quickly parse a given amount into the proper currency format. This is a shortcut to the most commonly used format method.

currency_format($amount, $code = null)

Manage

Easily add, update, or delete currencies from the default storage. This is extremely helpful when there are changes to currency data, such as symbols and such.

php artisan currency:<action>

Arguments:

 action              Action to perform (hydrate, seed, or cleanup)

Seed

Used to seed currencies in local database

php artisan currency:seed

Updating Exchange

Update exchange rates from restuniverse.com An API key is needed to use Rest Universe. Add yours to the config file.

php artisan currency:hydrate

Note: Yahoo has discontinued the use of their exchange rate API, so it has been removed from the package.

Cleanup

Used to clean the Laravel cached exchanged rates and refresh it from the database. Note that cached exchanged rates are cleared after they are updated using one of the command above.

php artisan currency:cleanup

Testing

composer test
