Usage

Facade

use UniRate\LaravelMoney\Facades\UniRate;

// Get a single rate
$rate = UniRate::getRate('USD', 'EUR');  // 0.92

// Get all rates for a base currency
$rates = UniRate::getRates('USD');  // ['EUR' => 0.92, 'GBP' => 0.79, ...]

// Convert a raw amount
$eur = UniRate::convertAmount(100.0, 'USD', 'EUR');  // 92.0

// Convert a Money instance
use Akaunting\Money\Money;
use Akaunting\Money\Currency;

$price = new Money(1000, new Currency('USD'));
$converted = UniRate::convert($price, 'EUR');
// → Money(920, Currency('EUR'))

// List supported currencies
$currencies = UniRate::currencies();  // ['USD', 'EUR', 'GBP', ...]

Money macro

A convertVia macro is registered on Akaunting\Money\Money:

$price = new Money(2500, new Currency('USD'));
$gbp = $price->convertVia('GBP');
// → Money(1975, Currency('GBP'))

Artisan command

# Fetch and display current rates
php artisan unirate:rates

# Specify a base currency
php artisan unirate:rates --base=EUR

# Flush cache before fetching
php artisan unirate:rates --flush

Dependency injection

use UniRate\LaravelMoney\UniRateExchange;

class PricingController extends Controller
{
    public function show(UniRateExchange $exchange)
    {
        $rate = $exchange->getRate('USD', 'EUR');
        // ...
    }
}
