Convert Money Amounts between currencies. This library uses an OTP worker to save current conversion rates.

## Installation

The package can be installed by adding `currency_conversion` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [{:currency_conversion, "~> 0.1.2"}]
end
```

## Configuration

There are two config options:

- `source` - Configure which Data Source Should Be Used.
  * Type: `atom`
  * Default: `CurrencyConversion.Source.Fixer`
- `refresh_interval` - Configure how often the data should be refreshed. (in ms)
  * Type: `integer`
  * Default: `86_400_000` (Once per Day)

```elixir
config :currency_conversion,
  source: CurrencyConversion.Source.Fixer,
  refresh_interval: 86_400_000
```

## Custom Source

A custom source can be implemented by using the behaviour `CurrencyConversion.Source` and reconfiguring the `source` config.

It only has to implement the function `load/0`, which produces a struct of type `%CurrencyConversion.Rates{}`.

## Usage

Only the function `CurrencyConversion.convert/3` is exposed to the user. The library [money](https://github.com/liuggio/money) is used to represent money amounts.

### Example

```elixir
iex> CurrencyConversion.convert(Money.new(7_00, :CHF), :USD)
%Money{amount: 10_50, currency: :USD}
```
