silvercommerce / currency-switcher Goto Github PK

Invoices/Estimates need to store the price (of the order item) as the price in the default currency (so the correct order value is sent to the payment gateway).

We need to ensure that when viewing an app on the front end, that the shopping cart, order summary views show the prices converted to the current currency.

I am thinking we need a factory class SilverCommerce\CurrencySwitcher\CurrencyFactory (for example).

Calling this will instantiate the currency conversion class chosen via config. Each currency conversion class will need to implement the same class, that defined the standard methods (in the same way that flysystem works).

By default, I think we should include a config based rates selector? We could have something like this in config.yml:

SilverCommerce\CurrencySwitcher\RateFromConfig # This is a fictitious class
  default_currency: GBP # you could probably also get this from siteconfig
  currencies: # currency codes and associated names
    - GBP: Pounds
    - USD: Dollars
    - EUR: Euros
  rates: # conversion rates to GBP (current default)
    - USD: 1.32016
    - EUR: 1.13009

We could also then create another module to use the cloud service you found last week.

Probably should be a standalone form? Would need to auto submit via JavaScript.

Make sure you add extension hooks on constructor and form submission function.

Form submission should set a session for the current currency, if the user is logged in then set their currency on the current Member and then save.

This would be used to populate the "select currency" drop down on the front end of a site.

I am guessing it will be a key:value list, one will be currency code, the other will be the name? I am guessing that you would also need some sort of helper to get the currency symbol from the code?
