Open up `config/app.php` and find the `providers` key. ``` 'providers' => [ \RestUniverse\Currency\CurrencyServiceProvider::class, ] ``` This package also comes with a facade, which provides an easy way to call the the class. Open up `config/app.php` and find the `aliases` key. ``` 'aliases' => [ 'Currency' => \RestUniverse\Currency\Facades\Currency::class, ]; ``` ### Publish the configurations [](#publish-the-configurations) Run this on the command line from the root of your project: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="RestUniverse\Currency\CurrencyServiceProvider" --tag=config ``` A configuration file will be published to `config/currency.php`. ### Migration [](#migration) If currencies are going to be stored in the database. ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="RestUniverse\Currency\CurrencyServiceProvider" --tag=migrations ``` Run this on the command line from the root of your project to generate the table for storing currencies: ``` $ php artisan migrate ``` > note: Add your API\_KEY to the .env file with (REST\_UNIVERSE\_API\_KEY). Basic usage ----------- [](#basic-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. ``` currency($amount, $from = null, $to = null, $format = true) ``` **Arguments:** `$amount` - The float amount to convert `$from` - The current currency code of the amount. If not set, the application default will be used (see `config/currency.php` file). `$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 ``` ### Updating Exchange Rates [](#updating-exchange-rates) Update exchange rates from restuniverse.com. An API key is needed to use [Rest Universe](http://restuniverse.com). Add yours to the config file. ``` php artisan currency:hydrate ``` Security -------- [](#security) If you discover any security related issues, please email instead of using the issue tracker. ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 52% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity13 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity60 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
