currency_type 0.0.3

Currency type for Dart and Flutter, a large numeric type, with exactly four digit after the decimal point, appropriate for financial calculations.

currency_type

The Currency type is a large numeric type, with exactly four digit after the decimal point. Internally, Currency using integer calculation to minimizes rounding errors.

The Currency type is appropriate for financial calculations that require large numbers of significant integral, up to four fractional digits, and minimize error caused by floating point calculation.

Why Using Currency ?

Using Double

func main() {
  var a = 0.7;
  var b = 0.49;
  var c = aa * aa;

  print('Result : $c');

  if (c == b) {
    print("Yes it's equal");
  } else {
    print("No it's not equal");
  }
}

Result : 0.48999999999999994
No it's not equal

Using Currency

func main() {
  var a = Currency.parse('0.7');
  var b = Currency.parse('0.49');
  var c = a * a;

  print('Result : $c');

  if (c == b) {
    print("Yes it's equal");
  } else {
    print("No it's not equal");
  }
}

Result : 0.4900
Yes it's equal

How To Use

To use currency_type module, you have to add to your project by run following command:

$ dart pub add currency_type 

or add directly in pubspec.yaml

dependencies: 
  currency_type: ^0.0.2

and then import to your dart file

import 'package:currency_type/currency_type.dart';

Instantiate

You can instantiate Currency with 3 ways:

1. Create zero value

   var a = Currency();
   

2. Import from num varible or num literal :

   var b = 1234;
   var c = 1234.56;
   
   var d = Currency.from(b);
   var e = Currency.from(c);
   
   var f = Currency.from(1234);
   var g = Currency.from(1234.56);
   

3. Parsing from string :

   var f = Currency.parse('1234567890');
   var g = Currency.parse('1234567890123456.1234');
   

Currency can store very large number beyond double, and the only way to instantiate is by parsing from string.

Operation

You can do arithmetic operation on `Currency` like addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division

var h = d + e; 
var i = g - h;
var j = d * e; 
var k = g / f; 

var l = (d + e) * g;

Currency can also be compared to other Currency

if (k == l) {
   ...
}


if (h > Currency.from(100)) {
   ...
}
