React Currency Converter

A lightweight and customizable currency converter component for React applications. Easily integrate currency conversion functionality with customizable dropdowns for selecting currencies and an input for the amount.

Features

• Customizable currency dropdowns for both "from" and "to" currencies.
• Customizable button text for performing the conversion.
• Restriction on the number of digits allowed in the amount input.
• Callback function to handle the conversion logic externally.

Installation

To install the React Currency Converter, run the following command in your project directory:

npm install react-currency-convert

or if you use yarn:

yarn add react-currency-convert

Usage

First, import the CurrencyConverter component into your React component file:

import React from 'react';
import { CurrencyConverter } from 'react-currency-convert';

Then, use the CurrencyConverter component in your React application. You must provide a callback function (onConvert) to handle the conversion logic:

import React from 'react';
import { CurrencyConverter } from 'react-currency-convert';

const App = () => {
  const handleConversion = (fromCurrency, toCurrency, amount) => {
    // Implement your conversion logic here
    console.log(`Convert ${amount} from ${fromCurrency} to ${toCurrency}`);
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <CurrencyConverter onConvert={handleConversion} />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

Props

The CurrencyConverter component accepts the following props for customization:

• onConvert: A function that is called when the conversion button is clicked. It receives three arguments: fromCurrency, toCurrency, and amount.
• fromCurrencyDropdownData (optional): An array of strings representing the currencies available in the "from" dropdown. Default is ["USD", "EUR", "INR", "GBP"].
• toCurrencyDropdownData (optional): An array of strings representing the currencies available in the "to" dropdown. Default is ["USD", "EUR", "INR", "GBP"].
• allowedAmountDigitsCount (optional): A number representing the maximum number of digits allowed in the amount input. Default is 7.
• convertCurrencyBtnText (optional): A string to customize the text of the conversion button. Default is "Convert Currency".

Example

Here's a complete example showing how to use the CurrencyConverter component with custom props:

import React from 'react';
import { CurrencyConverter } from 'react-currency-convert';

const App = () => {
  const handleConversion = (fromCurrency, toCurrency, amount) => {
    // Conversion logic
    alert(`Converting ${amount} from ${fromCurrency} to ${toCurrency}`);
  };

  return (
    <CurrencyConverter
      onConvert={handleConversion}
      fromCurrencyDropdownData={["USD", "CAD", "EUR"]}
      toCurrencyDropdownData={["INR", "JPY", "GBP"]}
      allowedAmountDigitsCount={5}
      convertCurrencyBtnText="Exchange"
    />
  );
};

export default App;
