Laravel Swap

Swap allows you to retrieve currency exchange rates from various services such as Fixer, Currency Data or Exchange Rates Data and optionally cache the results.

Sponsors

	Fixer is a simple and lightweight API for foreign exchange rates that supports up to 170 world currencies.
	Currency Data provides reliable exchange rates and currency conversions for your business up to 168 world currencies.
	Exchange Rates Data provides reliable exchange rates and currency conversions for your business with over 15 data sources.

QuickStart

Installation

$ composer require php-http/curl-client nyholm/psr7 php-http/message florianv/laravel-swap

Laravel 5.7 or lesser

If you use cache, add also PSR-6 adapter and PSR-16 bridge cache dependencies :

$ composer require cache/illuminate-adapter cache/simple-cache-bridge

These dependencies are not required with Laravel 5.8 or greater which implements PSR-16.

Laravel 5.5+

If you don't use auto-discovery, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php:

// /config/app.php
'providers' => [
    Swap\Laravel\SwapServiceProvider::class
],

If you want to use the facade to log messages, add this to your facades in app.php:

'aliases' => [
    'Swap' => Swap\Laravel\Facades\Swap::class
]

Copy the package config to your local config with the publish command:

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Swap\Laravel\SwapServiceProvider"

Lumen

Configure the Service Provider and alias:

// /boostrap/app.php

// Register the facade
$app->withFacades(true, [
    Swap\Laravel\Facades\Swap::class => 'Swap'
]);

// Load the configuration
$app->configure('swap');

// Register the service provider
$app->register(Swap\Laravel\SwapServiceProvider::class);

Copy the configuration to /config/swap.php if you wish to override it.

Usage

// Get the latest EUR/USD rate
$rate = Swap::latest('EUR/USD');

// 1.129
$rate->getValue();

// 2016-08-26
$rate->getDate()->format('Y-m-d');

// Get the EUR/USD rate yesterday
$rate = Swap::historical('EUR/USD', Carbon\Carbon::yesterday());
