If you miss String parsing, check out the new [monetize gem](https://github.com/RubyMoney/monetize). ## Contributing See the [Contribution Guidelines](https://github.com/RubyMoney/money/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) ## Introduction A Ruby Library for dealing with money and currency conversion. ### Features - Provides a `Money` class which encapsulates all information about a certain amount of money, such as its value and its currency. - Provides a `Money::Currency` class which encapsulates all information about a monetary unit. - Represents monetary values as integers, in cents. This avoids floating point rounding errors. - Represents currency as `Money::Currency` instances providing a high level of flexibility. - Provides APIs for exchanging money from one currency to another. ### Resources - [Website](https://rubymoney.github.io/money/) - [API Documentation](http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/money/frames) - [Git Repository](https://github.com/RubyMoney/money) ### Notes - Your app must use UTF-8 to function with this library. There are a number of non-ASCII currency attributes. - This app requires JSON. If you're using JRuby < 1.7.0 you'll need to add `gem "json"` to your Gemfile or similar. ## Downloading Install stable releases with the following command: gem install money The development version (hosted on Github) can be installed with: git clone git://github.com/RubyMoney/money.git cd money rake install ## Usage ``` ruby require 'money' # 10.00 USD money = Money.new(1000, "USD") money.cents #=> 1000 money.currency #=> Currency.new("USD") # Comparisons Money.new(1000, "USD") == Money.new(1000, "USD") #=> true Money.new(1000, "USD") == Money.new(100, "USD") #=> false Money.new(1000, "USD") == Money.new(1000, "EUR") #=> false Money.new(1000, "USD") != Money.new(1000, "EUR") #=> true # Arithmetic Money.new(1000, "USD") + Money.new(500, "USD") == Money.new(1500, "USD") Money.new(1000, "USD") - Money.new(200, "USD") == Money.new(800, "USD") Money.new(1000, "USD") / 5 == Money.new(200, "USD") Money.new(1000, "USD") * 5 == Money.new(5000, "USD") # Unit to subunit conversions Money.from_amount(5, "USD") == Money.new(500, "USD") # 5 USD Money.from_amount(5, "JPY") == Money.new(5, "JPY") # 5 JPY Money.from_amount(5, "TND") == Money.new(5000, "TND") # 5 TND # Currency conversions some_code_to_setup_exchange_rates Money.new(1000, "USD").exchange_to("EUR") == Money.new(some_value, "EUR") # Swap currency Money.new(1000, "USD").with_currency("EUR") == Money.new(1000, "EUR") # Formatting (see Formatting section for more options) Money.new(100, "USD").format #=> "$1.00" Money.new(100, "GBP").format #=> "£1.00" Money.new(100, "EUR").format #=> "€1.00" ``` ## Currency Currencies are consistently represented as instances of `Money::Currency`. The most part of `Money` APIs allows you to supply either a `String` or a `Money::Currency`. ``` ruby Money.new(1000, "USD") == Money.new(1000, Money::Currency.new("USD")) Money.new(1000, "EUR").currency == Money::Currency.new("EUR") ``` A `Money::Currency` instance holds all the information about the currency, including the currency symbol, name and much more. ``` ruby currency = Money.new(1000, "USD").currency currency.iso_code #=> "USD" currency.name #=> "United States Dollar" ``` To define a new `Money::Currency` use `Money::Currency.register` as shown below. ``` ruby curr = { priority: 1, iso_code: "USD", iso_numeric: "840", name: "United States Dollar", symbol: "$", subunit: "Cent", subunit_to_unit: 100, decimal_mark: ".", thousands_separator: "," } Money::Currency.register(curr) ``` The pre-defined set of attributes includes: - `:priority` a numerical value you can use to sort/group the currency list - `:iso_code` the international 3-letter code as defined by the ISO 4217 standard - `:iso_numeric` the international 3-digit code as defined by the ISO 4217 standard - `:name` the currency name - `:symbol` the currency symbol (UTF-8 encoded) - `:subunit` the name of the fractional monetary unit - `:subunit_to_unit` the proportion between the unit and the subunit - `:decimal_mark` character between the whole and fraction amounts - `:thousands_separator` character between each thousands place All attributes except `:iso_code` are optional. Some attributes, such as `:symbol`, are used by the Money class to print out a representation of the object. Other attributes, such as `:name` or `:priority`, exist to provide a basic API you can take advantage of to build your application. ### :priority The priority attribute is an arbitrary numerical value you can assign to the `Money::Currency` and use in sorting/grouping operation. For instance, let's assume your Rails application needs to render a currency selector like the one available [here](https://finance.yahoo.com/currency-converter/). You can create a couple of custom methods to return the list of major currencies and all currencies as follows: ``` ruby # Returns an array of currency id where # priority < 10 def major_currencies(hash) hash.inject([]) do |array, (id, attributes)| priority = attributes[:priority] if priority && priority < 10 array[priority] ||= [] array[priority] << id end array end.compact.flatten end # Returns an array of all currency id def all_currencies(hash) hash.keys end major_currencies(Money::Currency.table) # => [:usd, :eur, :gbp, :aud, :cad, :jpy] all_currencies(Money::Currency.table) # => [:aed, :afn, :all, ...] ``` ### Default Currency By default `Money` defaults to USD as its currency. This can be overwritten using: ``` ruby Money.default_currency = Money::Currency.new("CAD") ``` If you use [Rails](https://github.com/RubyMoney/money/tree/master#ruby-on-rails), then `config/initializers/money.rb` is a very good place to put this. ### Currency Exponent The exponent of a money value is the number of digits after the decimal separator (which separates the major unit from the minor unit). See e.g. [ISO 4217](https://www.currency-iso.org/en/shared/amendments/iso-4217-amendment.html) for more information. You can find the exponent (as an `Integer`) by ``` ruby Money::Currency.new("USD").exponent # => 2 Money::Currency.new("JPY").exponent # => 0 Money::Currency.new("MGA").exponent # => 1 ``` ### Currency Lookup To find a given currency by ISO 4217 numeric code (three digits) you can do ``` ruby Money::Currency.find_by_iso_numeric(978) #=> Money::Currency.new(:eur) ``` ## Currency Exchange Exchanging money is performed through an exchange bank object. The default exchange bank object requires one to manually specify the exchange rate. Here's an example of how it works: ``` ruby Money.add_rate("USD", "CAD", 1.24515) Money.add_rate("CAD", "USD", 0.803115) Money.us_dollar(100).exchange_to("CAD") # => Money.new(124, "CAD") Money.ca_dollar(100).exchange_to("USD") # => Money.new(80, "USD") ``` Comparison and arithmetic operations work as expected: ``` ruby Money.new(1000, "USD") <=> Money.new(900, "USD") # => 1; 9.00 USD is smaller Money.new(1000, "EUR") + Money.new(10, "EUR") == Money.new(1010, "EUR") Money.add_rate("USD", "EUR", 0.5) Money.new(1000, "EUR") + Money.new(1000, "USD") == Money.new(1500, "EUR") ``` ### Exchange rate stores The default bank is initialized with an in-memory store for exchange rates. ```ruby Money.default_bank = Money::Bank::VariableExchange.new(Money::RatesStore::Memory.new) ``` You can pass your own store implementation, i.e. for storing and retrieving rates off a database, file, cache, etc. ```ruby Money.default_bank = Money::Bank::VariableExchange.new(MyCustomStore.new) ``` Stores must implement the following interface: ```ruby # Add new exchange rate. # @param [String] iso_from Currency ISO code. ex. 'USD' # @param [String] iso_to Currency ISO code. ex. 'CAD' # @param [Numeric] rate Exchange rate. ex. 0.0016 # # @return [Numeric] rate. def add_rate(iso_from, iso_to, rate); end # Get rate. Must be idempotent. i.e. adding the same rate must not produce duplicates. # @param [String] iso_from Currency ISO code. ex. 'USD' # @param [String] iso_to Currency ISO code. ex. 'CAD' # # @return [Numeric] rate. def get_rate(iso_from, iso_to); end # Iterate over rate tuples (iso_from, iso_to, rate) # # @yieldparam iso_from [String] Currency ISO string. # @yieldparam iso_to [String] Currency ISO string. # @yieldparam rate [Numeric] Exchange rate. # # @return [Enumerator] # # @example # store.each_rate do |iso_from, iso_to, rate| # puts [iso_from, iso_to, rate].join # end def each_rate(&block); end # Wrap store operations in a thread-safe transaction # (or IO or Database transaction, depending on your implementation) # # @yield [n] Block that will be wrapped in transaction. # # @example # store.transaction do # store.add_rate('USD', 'CAD', 0.9) # store.add_rate('USD', 'CLP', 0.0016) # end def transaction(&block); end # Serialize store and its content to make Marshal.dump work. # # Returns an array with store class and any arguments needed to initialize the store in the current state. # @return [Array] [class, arg1, arg2] def marshal_dump; end ``` The following example implements an `ActiveRecord` store to save exchange rates to a database. ```ruby # rails g model exchange_rate from:string to:string rate:float # for Rails 5 replace ActiveRecord::Base with ApplicationRecord class ExchangeRate < ActiveRecord::Base def self.get_rate(from_iso_code, to_iso_code) rate = find_by(from: from_iso_code, to: to_iso_code) rate.present? ? rate.rate : nil end def self.add_rate(from_iso_code, to_iso_code, rate) exrate = find_or_initialize_by(from: from_iso_code, to: to_iso_code) exrate.rate = rate exrate.save! end end ``` Now you can use it with the default bank. ```ruby # For Rails 6 pass model name as a string to make it compatible with zeitwerk # Money.default_bank = Money::Bank::VariableExchange.new("ExchangeRate") Money.default_bank = Money::Bank::VariableExchange.new(ExchangeRate) # Add to the underlying store Money.default_bank.add_rate('USD', 'CAD', 0.9) # Retrieve from the underlying store Money.default_bank.get_rate('USD', 'CAD') # => 0.9 # Exchanging amounts just works. Money.new(1000, 'USD').exchange_to('CAD') #=> # ``` There is nothing stopping you from creating store objects which scrapes [XE](http://www.xe.com) for the current rates or just returns `rand(2)`: ``` ruby Money.default_bank = Money::Bank::VariableExchange.new(StoreWhichScrapesXeDotCom.new) ``` You can also implement your own Bank to calculate exchanges differently. Different banks can share Stores. ```ruby Money.default_bank = MyCustomBank.new(Money::RatesStore::Memory.new) ``` If you wish to disable automatic currency conversion to prevent arithmetic when currencies don't match: ``` ruby Money.disallow_currency_conversion! ``` ### Implementations The following is a list of Money.gem compatible currency exchange rate implementations. - [eu_central_bank](https://github.com/RubyMoney/eu_central_bank) - [google_currency](https://github.com/RubyMoney/google_currency) - [currencylayer](https://github.com/askuratovsky/currencylayer) - [nordea](https://github.com/matiaskorhonen/nordea) - [nbrb_currency](https://github.com/slbug/nbrb_currency) - [money-currencylayer-bank](https://github.com/phlegx/money-currencylayer-bank) - [money-open-exchange-rates](https://github.com/spk/money-open-exchange-rates) - [money-historical-bank](https://github.com/atwam/money-historical-bank) - [russian_central_bank](https://github.com/rmustafin/russian_central_bank) - [money-uphold-bank](https://github.com/subvisual/money-uphold-bank) ## Formatting There are several formatting rules for when `Money#format` is called. For more information, check out the [formatting module source](https://github.com/RubyMoney/money/blob/master/lib/money/money/formatter.rb), or read the latest release's [rdoc version](http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/money/Money/Formatter). If you wish to format money according to the EU's [Rules for expressing monetary units](http://publications.europa.eu/code/en/en-370303.htm#position) in either English, Irish, Latvian or Maltese: ```ruby m = Money.new('123', :gbp) # => # m.format(symbol: m.currency.to_s + ' ') # => "GBP 1.23" ``` ## Rounding By default, `Money` objects are rounded to the nearest cent and the additional precision is not preserved: ```ruby Money.from_amount(2.34567).format #=> "$2.35" ``` To retain the additional precision, you will also need to set `infinite_precision` to `true`. ```ruby Money.infinite_precision = true Money.from_amount(2.34567).format #=> "$2.34567" ``` To round to the nearest cent (or anything more precise), you can use the `round` method. However, note that the `round` method on a `Money` object does not work the same way as a normal Ruby `Float` object. Money's `round` method accepts different arguments. The first argument to the round method is the rounding mode, while the second argument is the level of precision relative to the cent. ``` # Float 2.34567.round #=> 2 2.34567.round(2) #=> 2.35 # Money Money.infinite_precision = true Money.new(2.34567).format #=> "$0.0234567" Money.new(2.34567).round.format #=> "$0.02" Money.new(2.34567).round(BigDecimal::ROUND_HALF_UP, 2).format #=> "$0.0235" ``` You can set the default rounding mode by passing one of the `BigDecimal` mode enumerables like so: ```ruby Money.rounding_mode = BigDecimal::ROUND_HALF_EVEN ``` See [BigDecimal::ROUND_MODE](https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.5.1/libdoc/bigdecimal/rdoc/BigDecimal.html#ROUND_MODE) for more information ## Ruby on Rails To integrate money in a Rails application use [money-rails](https://github.com/RubyMoney/money-rails). For deprecated methods of integrating with Rails, check [the wiki](https://github.com/RubyMoney/money/wiki). ## Localization In order to localize formatting you can use `I18n` gem: ```ruby Money.locale_backend = :i18n ``` With this enabled a thousands seperator and a decimal mark will get looked up in your `I18n` translation files. In a Rails application this may look like: ```yml # config/locale/en.yml en: number: currency: format: delimiter: "," separator: "." # falling back to number: format: delimiter: "," separator: "." ``` For this example `Money.new(123456789, "SEK").format` will return `1,234,567.89 kr` which otherwise would have returned `1 234 567,89 kr`. This will work seamlessly with [rails-i18n](https://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n) gem that already has a lot of locales defined. If you wish to disable this feature and use defaults instead: ``` ruby Money.locale_backend = nil ``` ### Deprecation The current default behaviour always checks the I18n locale first, falling back to "per currency" localization. This is now deprecated and will be removed in favour of explicitly defined behaviour in the next major release. If you would like to use I18n localization (formatting depends on the locale): ```ruby Money.locale_backend = :i18n # example (using default localization from rails-i18n): I18n.locale = :en Money.new(10_000_00, 'USD').format # => $10,000.00 Money.new(10_000_00, 'EUR').format # => €10,000.00 I18n.locale = :es Money.new(10_000_00, 'USD').format # => $10.000,00 Money.new(10_000_00, 'EUR').format # => €10.000,00 ``` For the legacy behaviour of "per currency" localization (formatting depends only on currency): ```ruby Money.locale_backend = :currency # example: Money.new(10_000_00, 'USD').format # => $10,000.00 Money.new(10_000_00, 'EUR').format # => €10.000,00 ``` In case you don't need localization and would like to use default values (can be redefined using `Money.default_formatting_rules`): ```ruby Money.locale_backend = nil # example: Money.new(10_000_00, 'USD').format # => $10000.00 Money.new(10_000_00, 'EUR').format # => €10000.00 ``` ## Collection In case you're working with collections of `Money` instances, have a look at [money-collection](https://github.com/RubyMoney/money-collection) for improved performance and accuracy. ### Troubleshooting If you don't have some locale and don't want to get a runtime error such as: I18n::InvalidLocale: :en is not a valid locale Set the following: ``` ruby I18n.enforce_available_locales = false ``` ## Heuristics Prior to v6.9.0 heuristic analysis of string input was part of this gem. Since then it was extracted in to [money-heuristics gem](https://github.com/RubyMoney/money-heuristics). ## Migration Notes #### Version 6.0.0 - The `Money#dollars` and `Money#amount` methods now return instances of `BigDecimal` rather than `Float`. We should avoid representing monetary values with floating point types so to avoid a whole class of errors relating to lack of precision. There are two migration options for this change: * The first is to test your application and where applicable update the application to accept a `BigDecimal` return value. This is the recommended path. * The second is to migrate from the `#amount` and `#dollars` methods to use the `#to_f` method instead. This option should only be used where `Float` is the desired type and nothing else will do for your application's requirements.
