Convert money from one to another

            ->from('USD')
            ->to('MGA')
            ->get();

dd($convertedAmount);

NB: Don't Forget to import the CurrencyConverter Facades

use Mgcodeur\CurrencyConverter\Facades\CurrencyConverter;

Convert all money from one

You can convert all money from one currency when you don't specify the to method.

// convert 5 EUR for all currencies
$convertedAmount = CurrencyConverter::convert(5)
            ->from('EUR')
            ->get();

dd($convertedAmount);

Get all currencies

To get all currencies, you can use the currencies method.

$currencies = CurrencyConverter::currencies()->get();

dd($currencies);

Format output result

Instead of using the get method, you can use the format method to format the output result.

// convert 10 USD to EUR and format the result
$convertedAmount = CurrencyConverter::convert(10)
            ->from('USD')
            ->to('EUR') 
            ->format();
dd($convertedAmount);
