PHP CurrencyFX Library

Hi all,

I'm happy to share the latest library I've been working on.

It is called CurrencyFX.

Let's check it out 😆

Introduction

CurrencyFX is a PHP Library that helps you retrieve FX Rates from multiple online services, batteries-included 🔋🔋🔋

Repository: https://github.com/shipsaas/currency-fx

Requirement: PHP 8.1+

• Additionally, Laravel 10 (for Laravel auto integration)

100% tested and covered under Unit, Integration & E2E tests (assert against the real services)

Installation

composer require shipsaas/currency-fx # (Optional) For Laravel users php artisan vendor:publish --tag=currency-fx-configs 

Supporting Services / Batteries

• https://exchangeratesapi.io/
• https://exchangerate.host/
• https://fixer.io/
• https://currencylayer.com/

Usage

Simply initialize the class with the required parameters (which are the API Key, Credentials). And it is ready to use in no time.

$service = new CurrencyCloudService($host, $loginId, $apiKey); $rateResponse = $service->getRates('USD', 'SGD'); if (!$rateResponse->isOk()) { // failed to get the rate from third party service // do something here } $rate = $rateResponse->getOkResult()->rate; // float (1.4xxx) 

Laravel Usage

(Please add the needful ENVs before using, check out the currency-fx.php for more info)

use CurrencyFX\Services\CurrencyLayerService; use CurrencyFX\Services\ExchangerRatesApiIoService; // use the global "app" app(CurrencyLayerService::class)->getRates('USD', 'EUR'); // DI class TransferService { public function __construct( private ExchangerRatesApiIoService $rateService ) { } public function transfer(): TransferResult { $rateRes = $this->rateService->getRates('EUR', 'GBP'); if ($rateRes->isError()) { return TransferResult::error(...); } $rate = $rateRes->getOkResult()->rate; } } 

Final Words
