FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Usage

Once Abacus has been set up successfully, it can be used like so:

Installation

Install Abacus via Composer by either including it in your composer.json file:

Or by running:

Polling the API

Abacus depends on data retrieved from the Open Exchange Rates API. In order to use Abacus fully, you must poll the API using your own API key. Abacus will look for an environment variable named ABACUS_OPEN_EXCHANGE_KEY and can be polled in several ways.

I recommend setting up a CRON service to poll the Open Exchange hourly in order to keep an up to date record of the currency exchange rates. At the time of writing, the free tier of the Open Exchange Rates API allows for 1,000 calls per month and there are 744 hours in a month so you're sorted. It would be fruitless to poll more than once an hour on the free tier as the information is updated hourly.

If you want more up-to-the-minute exchange rates, I highly recommend signing up for a paid plan

Using the included script

Abacus includes a shell script to minimize the setup process.

You can call it like so (with absolute filepaths for your CRON service) from the root of your project directory:

php vendor/bin/abacus

By default it will use the ABACUS_OPEN_EXCHANGE_KEY environment variable, but if you need to specify it manually you can pass it as an argument:

php vendor/bin/abacus my_super_secret_api_key

Doing it manually

Abacus will also accept an API key directly:
