- Curl Extension (Optional)
- Yii 2.0

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.
Either run
php composer.phar require --prefer-dist imanilchaudhari/yii2-currency-converter "dev-master"
or add
"imanilchaudhari/yii2-currency-converter": "dev-master"
to the require section of your composer.json file.
Usage ¶
Once the extension is installed, simply use it in your code by :
use imanilchaudhari\CurrencyConverter\CurrencyConverter;
$converter = new CurrencyConverter();
$rate = $converter->convert('USD', 'NPR');
print_r($rate); // it will print current Nepalese currency (NPR) rate according to USD
It doesn't work
