Hi all,
I'm happy to share the latest library I've been working on.
It is called CurrencyFX.
Let's check it out 😆
Introduction
CurrencyFX is a PHP Library that helps you retrieve FX Rates from multiple online services, batteries-included 🔋🔋🔋
Repository: https://github.com/shipsaas/currency-fx
Requirement: PHP 8.1+
- Additionally, Laravel 10 (for Laravel auto integration)
100% tested and covered under Unit, Integration & E2E tests (assert against the real services)
Installation
composer require shipsaas/currency-fx
# (Optional) For Laravel users
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=currency-fx-configs
Supporting Services / Batteries
- https://exchangeratesapi.io/
- https://exchangerate.host/
- https://fixer.io/
- https://currencylayer.com/
- https://www.currencycloud.com/
Usage
Simply initialize the class with the required parameters (which are the API Key, Credentials). And it is ready to use in no time.
$service = new CurrencyCloudService($host, $loginId, $apiKey);
$rateResponse = $service->getRates('USD', 'SGD');
if (!$rateResponse->isOk()) {
// failed to get the rate from third party service
// do something here
}
$rate = $rateResponse->getOkResult()->rate; // float (1.4xxx)
Laravel Usage
(Please add the needful ENVs before using, check out the currency-fx.php for more info)
use CurrencyFX\Services\CurrencyLayerService;
use CurrencyFX\Services\ExchangerRatesApiIoService;
// use the global "app"
app(CurrencyLayerService::class)->getRates('USD', 'EUR');
// DI
class TransferService
{
public function __construct(
private ExchangerRatesApiIoService $rateService
) {
}
public function transfer(): TransferResult
{
$rateRes = $this->rateService->getRates('EUR', 'GBP');
if ($rateRes->isError()) {
return TransferResult::error(...);
}
$rate = $rateRes->getOkResult()->rate;
}
}
Final Words
Thank you, please give it a ⭐️⭐️⭐️ to support the project.
Don't forget to share with your friends & colleagues, so they can also build their own SaaS products as well 🚀
Cheers!
