About cash-converter
--------------------

[](#about-cash-converter)

A small and simple package that takes away the pain of communicating with ExchangeRate-API directly to convert a certain amount of money between 2 currencies. You can also get the conversion rate or an array with all known conversion rates based on a certain currency.

How to use cash-converter
-------------------------

[](#how-to-use-cash-converter)

### Installation

[](#installation)

Install the package via composer:

```
composer require burtds/cash-converter
```

Afterwards, publish the service provider.

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Burtds\CashConverter\CashConverterProvider"
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

First of all add the API key of the ExchangeRate-API service to your `.env` file of your project. If you don't have an ExchangeRate-API account yet, create one at [exchangerate-api.com](https://exchangerate-api.com). Once you have an account you can copy your API key from the dashboard page and put it into your `.env` file.

```
EXCHANGE_RATE_API_KEY="YOUR-API-KEY"

```

To use it, import the Facade of this package at the top of your file.

```
use Burtds\CashConverter\Facades\CashConverter;
```

Once that is done, you can use the conversion functions.

```
CashConverter::getRates('EUR'); // returns an array of the currenct conversion rates based on the given currency, in this case Euro
CashConverter::getRate('EUR','USD'); // returns the current conversion rate for Euro to US Dollars
CashConverter::convert('EUR','USD', 25); // returns the converted vanlue in US Dollars for the given 25 Euro
```

### Test & Format

[](#test--format)

To execute the tests, run:

```
composer test
```

To format the code using pint, run:

```
