It's in there, but it's super messy. I'm finishing up version 1.0 of the package. It makes things a lot more simple. I haven't pushed the documenting for it yet.
If you want to try out version 1.0 here's how you would install it:
composer require torann/currency:1.0.x-dev
And here is the basic use doc:
This is a shortcut to the most commonly used convert
method. Which converts the given amount into the provided currency.
currency($amount, $from = null, $to = null)
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).
$to
- The currency code to convert the amount to. If not set the user set currency is used.
Usage:
echo currency(12.00); // Will format the amount using the user selected currency
echo currency(12.00, 'USD', 'EUR'); // Will format the amount from the default currency to EUR
Quickly parse a given amount into the proper currency format. This is a shortcut to the most commonly used format
method.
currency_format($amount, $code = null)
Arguments:
$amount
- The float amount to convert
$code
- The current currency code of the amount. If not set the application default will be used (see config/currency.php
file).
Usage:
echo currency_format(12.00); // Will format the amount using the application default currency
echo currency_format(12.00, 'EUR'); // Will format the amount from the default currency to EUR
Here's the branch: https://github.com/Torann/laravel-currency/blob/1.0
The database has changed some too, take a look: https://github.com/Torann/laravel-currency/blob/1.0/src/migrations/2013_11_26_161501_create_currency_table.php
Was looking way to include 1.0. Should have come here first, would have saved some time. Any chance you can put this in the docs ??
The docs now reflects the changes made in v1.0
http://lyften.com/projects/laravel-currency/doc
You can include v1.0 in you project by requiring the master branch:
"torann/currency": "dev-master"
I would only do this if you are willing to test it out. I have most of the bugs worked out, but I'm still going through it all. Also if you decide to try the dev-master
, please remember to change it to a version number once I release it. If you don't and I release another major release down the line, having dev-master
will tell your system to install it. This could cause errors.
Version 1.0 was just released
I was looking for a function to help me convert between currencies, I couldn't find one in the source -- it would be great if there was a function like this built in:
It is not really clear at all that when using the
currency
function, specifying a currency code different than the config default will actually convert the amount to the specified currency relative to your default currency. I assumedcurrency(100, 'JPY')
would give me¥100.00
, instead I get¥10,339.00
because my default currency isUSD
