Description

Manolo Salsas

This package provides an API to return currency exchange rates.

It implements a REST API server that can process requests to perform several types of operations with currencies. Currently it can:

- Return the exchange rate between two given currencies
- Update the rate between a given currency and the Euro
- Delete the current exchange rate of a given currency

Number 6

Many applications need to deal with different currencies used in payments that they may take, so they may need to convert money amounts between different currencies.

Often those applications use remote APIs that rely on remote exchange conversion APIs to work well.

If for some reason those APIs may not be reachable when the application needs to use the conversion exchange rate values, the application may fail to operate, thus leading to eventual financial losses.

This package provides a more reliable alternative based on its own API to obtain the conversion exchange rates, thus avoiding to rely so much on external APIs.

use Symfony\Component\Debug\Debug;

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;



require dirname(__DIR__).'/config/bootstrap.php';



if ($_SERVER['APP_DEBUG']) {

    umask(0000);



    Debug::enable();

}



if ($trustedProxies = $_SERVER['TRUSTED_PROXIES'] ?? $_ENV['TRUSTED_PROXIES'] ?? false) {

    Request::setTrustedProxies(explode(',', $trustedProxies), Request::HEADER_X_FORWARDED_ALL ^ Request::HEADER_X_FORWARDED_HOST);

}



if ($trustedHosts = $_SERVER['TRUSTED_HOSTS'] ?? $_ENV['TRUSTED_HOSTS'] ?? false) {

    Request::setTrustedHosts([$trustedHosts]);

}



$kernel = new Kernel($_SERVER['APP_ENV'], (bool) $_SERVER['APP_DEBUG']);

$request = Request::createFromGlobals();

$response = $kernel->handle($request);

$response->send();

$kernel->terminate($request, $response);
