A currency library based on the [ISO-4217 standard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217) for Gleam.
```sh
gleam add dime@1
```
## Usage
```gleam
import dime
pub fn main() {
// parse alpha-3 code
let gbp = dime.from_alpha_code("Gbp")
// parse numeric code
let huf = dime.from_numeric_code("348")
// use exported constants
let pln = dime.pln
gbp
|> dime.display_name // "Pound Sterling"
gbp
|> dime.symbol // "£"
huf
|> dime.minor_units // 2
huf
|> dime.alpha_code // "HUF"
pln
|> dime.numeric_code // "985"
}
```

## Development
### Updating the ISO-4217 dataset
To update the [dataset](test/data/currencies.json) that is used to [test the ISO-4217 compliance](test/iso_4217_test.gleam#L32) of the library,
first run the script below.
```sh
./scripts/extract_data.sh
```
It downloads the latest currency dataset from the website of the standard's maintainer
and converts it to a JSON file at `test/data/currencies.json`.
Then, to validate the compliance of the library, run the test suite.
```sh
gleam test
```
## Roadmap
