gem build money_rb.gemspec
gem install ./money_rb-0.0.1.gem
Usage
Configure the currency rates with respect to a base currency:
MoneyRb::Money.conversion_rates('EUR', {
'USD' => 1.11,
'UYU' => 30.7
})
Instantiate:
fifty_eur = MoneyRb::Money.new(50, 'EUR')
fifty_eur.amount # => 50
fifty_eur.currency # => "EUR"
fifty_eur.inspect # => "50.00 EUR"
Convert to a different currency:
fifty_eur.convert_to('USD') # => 55.50 USD
Arithmetics:
twenty_dollars = MoneyRb::Money.new(20, 'USD')
fifty_eur + twenty_dollars # => 68.02 EUR
fifty_eur - twenty_dollars # => 31.98 EUR
fifty_eur / 2 # => 25.00 EUR
twenty_dollars * 3 # => 60.00 USD
Comparisons:
twenty_dollars == MoneyRb::Money.new(20, 'USD') # => true
twenty_dollars == MoneyRb::Money.new(30, 'USD') # => false
fifty_eur_in_usd = fifty_eur.convert_to('USD')
fifty_eur_in_usd == fifty_eur # => true
twenty_dollars > MoneyRb::Money.new(5, 'USD') # => true
twenty_dollars < fifty_eur # => true
