Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'currency_converter_3000'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install currency_converter_3000
Usage
Configure the currency rates with respect to a base currency (here EUR):
CurrencyConverter3000::Money.conversion_rates('EUR', {
'USD' => 1.11,
'Bitcoin' => 0.0047
})
Instantiate money objects
fifty_eur = CurrencyConverter3000::Money.new(50, 'EUR')
Get amount and currency:
fifty_eur.amount # => 50
fifty_eur.currency # => "EUR"
fifty_eur.inspect # => "50.00 EUR"
Convert to a different currency (returns a Money instance):
fifty_eur.convert_to('USD') # => 55.50 USD
Perform operations in different currencies:
twenty_dollars = CurrencyConverter3000::Money.new(20, 'USD')
Arithmetics:
fifty_eur + twenty_dollars # => 68.02 EUR
fifty_eur - twenty_dollars # => 31.98 EUR
fifty_eur / 2 # => 25 EUR
twenty_dollars * 3 # => 60 USD
Comparisons (also in different currencies):
twenty_dollars == CurrencyConverter3000::Money.new(20, 'USD') # => true
twenty_dollars == CurrencyConverter3000::Money.new(30, 'USD') # => false
fifty_eur_in_usd = fifty_eur.convert_to('USD')
fifty_eur_in_usd == fifty_eur # => true
twenty_dollars > CurrencyConverter3000::Money.new(5, 'USD') # => true
twenty_dollars < fifty_eur # => true
