Currency Converter This project demonstrates how to use the @everapi/freecurrencyapi-js package to convert currencies using the FreeCurrencyAPI. The application allows you to convert an amount from one currency to another using live exchange rates.
Installation To get started, clone this repository and install the necessary dependencies.
bash Copy code npm install @everapi/freecurrencyapi-js Usage Here's an example of how to use this package to convert currency:
javascript Copy code import Freecurrencyapi from "@everapi/freecurrencyapi-js";
// Initialize the API with your API key const freecurrencyapi = new Freecurrencyapi("YOUR_API_KEY");
// Convert currency from INR to USD convertCurrency("INR", "USD", 100);
async function convertCurrency(fromCurrency, toCurrency, units) { // Fetch the latest exchange rate data const res = await freecurrencyapi.latest({ base_currency: fromCurrency, currencies: toCurrency, });
// Calculate the converted amount
const multiplier = res.data[toCurrency];
console.log(Converted amount: ${multiplier * units} ${toCurrency}
);
}
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual FreeCurrencyAPI key.
Parameters fromCurrency: The currency you want to convert from (e.g., "INR"). toCurrency: The currency you want to convert to (e.g., "USD"). units: The amount of the fromCurrency you want to convert. Example javascript Copy code convertCurrency("EUR", "GBP", 50); This will convert 50 Euros (EUR) to British Pounds (GBP) and print the converted amount to the console.
API Key You need an API key from FreeCurrencyAPI to use this package. You can get one by signing up at FreeCurrencyAPI.
