💱 moneyify

Lightweight currency conversion library. Cashify-compatible API — bring your own rates and convert synchronously — plus one extra superpower: Moneyify.live() auto-fetches mid-market rates from the AllRatesToday API so you never need to maintain a rate table yourself.

• 💡 Drop-in replacement for cashify (sync convert, expression parsing, big.js support)
• 🌍 Auto-fetch 160+ currencies from Refinitiv (Reuters) + interbank feeds
• 📦 Zero runtime dependencies
• 🧮 Optional big.js integration for arbitrary-precision math
• 💬 Parses expressions: "10 USD to EUR", "€10 EUR in GBP", "1,250.5 usd in gbp"
• 🟦 Written in TypeScript, ships ESM + CJS + .d.ts
• ⚡ Node 18+

📦 Installation

npm install moneyify

yarn add moneyify
pnpm add moneyify

🚀 Usage

1. Bring your own rates (identical to cashify)

import { Moneyify } from "moneyify";

const rates = { EUR: 1.00, GBP: 0.85, USD: 1.08 };
const m = new Moneyify({ base: "EUR", rates });

m.convert(10, { from: "EUR", to: "GBP" }); // 8.5
m.convert("10 EUR to GBP");                // 8.5
m.convert("€10 EUR in USD");               // 10.8

2. Auto-fetch from AllRatesToday (the moneyify moat)

import { Moneyify } from "moneyify";

// Rates are fetched and cached on construction.
const m = await Moneyify.live({
  base: "USD",
  apiKey: process.env.ALLRATESTODAY_API_KEY,
});

m.convert(100, { from: "USD", to: "INR" });  // e.g. 8320.5
m.convert("50 USD to EUR");                   // e.g. 46.17

3. Functional (no constructor, also matches cashify)

import { convert } from "moneyify";

convert(10, {
  from: "EUR",
  to: "GBP",
  base: "EUR",
  rates: { GBP: 0.85, EUR: 1.0 },
}); // 8.5

4. Parse expressions without converting

import { parse } from "moneyify";

parse("10 EUR to GBP");    // { amount: 10, from: "EUR", to: "GBP" }
parse("€10 EUR");          // { amount: 10, from: "EUR" }
parse("1,250.5 usd in gbp"); // { amount: 1250.5, from: "USD", to: "GBP" }

Supported separators: to, in, as (case-insensitive). Supported symbols: $, €, £, ¥, ₹, ₽, ₺, ₩, ₪, R$, A$, C$, HK$, NZ$, S$.

5. Precision math with big.js

import Big from "big.js";
import { Moneyify } from "moneyify";

const m = new Moneyify({
  base: "USD",
  rates: { EUR: 0.923456789 },
  BigJs: Big,
});

m.convert(100, { from: "USD", to: "EUR" }); // 92.3456789 (no float drift)

📚 API

new Moneyify({ base, rates?, BigJs? })

instance.convert(amount, options?)

Sync. Returns a number (or big.js-backed number if BigJs was passed).

• amount: number or a parseable expression string ("10 USD to EUR")
• options.from?: source currency (defaults to base)
• options.to?: target currency (required unless embedded in the expression)

Moneyify.live(options) — static async factory

Moneyify.live({
  base: string;
  apiKey?: string;       // defaults to process.env.ALLRATESTODAY_API_KEY
  baseUrl?: string;      // default: "https://allratestoday.com"
  fetch?: typeof fetch;
  timeoutMs?: number;    // default 15000
  symbols?: string[];    // pre-fetch only these codes (default: all 160+)
  BigJs?: BigJsConstructor;
}): Promise<Moneyify>

Pre-fetches rates against base and returns a ready-to-use instance. Once resolved, .convert(...) is fully synchronous.

convert(amount, { from, to, base, rates, BigJs? }) — functional

Same as instance.convert() but bring your own base and rates each call. Cashify parity.

parse(expression) — string parser

Returns { amount, from?, to? }. Throws MoneyifyError if unparseable.

MoneyifyError

All errors thrown by moneyify are instances of MoneyifyError. Network/API errors include a .status field with the HTTP status code.

import { MoneyifyError } from "moneyify";

try {
  m.convert(10, { from: "USD", to: "XYZ" });
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof MoneyifyError) {
    console.error(err.status, err.message);
  }
}

🔄 Migrating from cashify

The public API is identical. Drop-in swap:

- import { Cashify, convert, parse } from "cashify";
+ import { Moneyify as Cashify, convert, parse } from "moneyify";

Everything else works the same. If you want to stop maintaining your rate table, switch from new Cashify({ base, rates }) to await Moneyify.live({ base, apiKey }).

🌍 Supported currencies

160+ currencies including majors (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF, CAD, AUD, NZD), emerging-market (INR, CNY, BRL, MXN, TRY, ZAR, SGD, HKD, KRW, THB, PHP, PKR, BDT, LKR, NGN, GHS, KES, AED, SAR, EGP), and precious metals (XAU, XAG).
