Why?
----

[](#why)

Because Argentina has a black market for currency exchange. And this makes it easy to retrieve the current USD conversion rate from different sources. And also because I needed something small to talk about Package Development and testing on [this meetup](http://www.meetup.com/Laravel-Buenos-Aires/events/174574162/).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 5.4

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's `composer.json` file to require `fedeisas/dolar-blue.

```
{
  "require": {
        ...
        "fedeisas/dolar-blue": "1.*"
        ...
    },
    "minimum-stability" : "dev"
}
```

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

```
$ composer update
```

Once this operation completes, the final step is to add the service provider. Open `app/config/app.php`, and add a new item to the providers array.

```
'providers' => array(
    ...
    'Fedeisas\LaravelDolarBlue\LaravelDolarBlueServiceProvider',
)
```

Optionally you can also add the Facade to the aliases array on `app/config/app.php`:

```
'aliases' => array(
    ...
    'DolarBlue' => 'Fedeisas\LaravelDolarBlue\Facade\LaravelDolarBlue',
)
```

Providers
---------

[](#providers)

- [LaNacion](http://www.lanacion.com.ar/)
- [DolarBlue](http://dolarblue.net/)
- [BlueLytics](http://bluelytics.com.ar/)
- [PrecioDolarBlue](http://www.preciodolarblue.com.ar/)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Fedeisas\DolarBlue\DolarBlue;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;

$service = new DolarBlue(new Client);
$result = $service->get('DolarBlue'); // or $service->DolarBlue();
// returns
// array(
//   'buy' => '10.15',
//   'sell' => '10.55',
//   'timestamp' => 1399080004
// )
```

Or you can use magic methods:

```
$result = $service->LaNacion();
$result = $service->DolarBlue();
$result = $service->BlueLytics();
```

Contributing
------------

[](#contributing)

```
$ composer install --dev
$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit
```

In addition to a full test suite, there is Travis integration.
