$ composer require php-http/curl-client nyholm/psr7 php-http/message florianv/laravel-swapIf you use cache, add also PSR-6 adapter and PSR-16 bridge cache dependencies :
$ composer require cache/illuminate-adapter cache/simple-cache-bridgeThese dependencies are not required with Laravel 5.8 or greater which implements PSR-16.
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"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.
// 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());The complete documentation can be found here.
