Step 1. Composer Install

Install laravel composer currency in the application. use the below-provided command in your project terminal and install composer for currency exchange rate gets.

composer require amrshawky/laravel-currency

Step 2. Route Define

Create a controller, we will create a demo controller using the below command in the project terminal.

php artisan make:controller DemoController

Import created controller in the web route file. Define a route for getting currency exchange rate based on selected in the form.

routes/web.php 
<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\DemoController;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

Route::get('currency',[DemoController::class,'index'])->name('currency');

Step 3. Demo Controller

Import the Currency class in the demo controller. define route function here. and paste the given code into your controller method. This method will help us to change the rate from one currency to another currency.

This Currency class returns your current rate. pass to the blade file to getting view it and compare it.

app/Http/Controllers/DemoController.php 
<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use AmrShawky\LaravelCurrency\Facade\Currency;

class DemoController extends Controller
{
     public function index(Request $request)
     {
          $converted = '';

          if ($request->filled('currency_from')) {
               
               $convertedObj = Currency::convert()
                         ->from($request->get('currency_from'))
                         ->to($request->get('currency_to'))
                         ->amount($request->get('amount'));

               if($request->filled('date')){

                    $convertedObj = $convertedObj->date($request->get('date'));
               }

               $converted = $convertedObj->get();
          }

          return view('currency',compact('converted'));
     }
}

Step 4. View Blade File

Blade file for showing the form, two input filed dropdown. one dropdown for the original currency select. while another dropdown for the compare currency. select and compare it. just copy the given code and paste it into your blade file.

Step 5. Start Server

Start the development server using the below command in your project terminal.

php artisan serve

Run this URL in your browser and try your currency exchange to another currency.

http://127.0.0.1:8000/currency

We installed a currency exchange composer in the application, as well as we created a demo controller for getting the current currency exchange rate. for more practice below also given a youtube video for more practical. all the guidelines are given in this tutorial.
