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) - Laravel 4 - PHP >= 5.4 Installation ------------ [](#installation) Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's `composer.json` file to require `fedeisas/laravel-dolar-blue. ``` { "require": { "laravel/framework": "4.0.*", "fedeisas/laravel-dolar-blue": "dev-master" }, "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', ) ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Currenly it only supports 3 providers (more to come): - LaNacion - DolarBlue - BlueLytics ``` $service = App::make('Fedeisas\LaravelDolarBlue\LaravelDolarBlue'); $result = $service->get('DolarBlue'); // or $service->DolarBlue(); // returns // array( // 'buy' => '10.15', // 'sell' => '10.55', // 'timestamp' => 1399080004 // ) ``` Or you can use the facade: ``` $result = DolarBlue::get('LaNacion'); // and using some __call magic $result = DolarBlue::LaNacion(); $result = DolarBlue::DolarBlue(); $result = DolarBlue::BlueLytics(); ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) ``` $ composer install --dev $ ./vendor/bin/phpunit ``` In addition to a full test suite, there is Travis integration. Found a bug? ------------ [](#found-a-bug) Please, let me know! Send a pull request or a patch. Questions? Ask! I will respond to all filed issues. Inspiration ----------- [](#inspiration) I needed an idea for a small library, and I borrowed it from a friend who has done something similar for NodeJS.
