The SAP Cloud SDK currency conversion library is a TypeScript library that can be used to convert currency exchange rates. You can perform conversions with either one currency pair or multiple conversions through a single API call. You can use a data adapter to provide exchange rates, configuration settings, and so on.
The data adapter is developed using the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP) and it provides the library with access to relevant exchange rates and configurations. You use the data adapter to send currency exchange rates to the library.
At runtime, the conversion library interacts with the data adapter by calling the relevant methods to provide the information you request.
The following code examples show the various usages of the module:
- Single Conversion
import {
BulkConversionResult,
SingleNonFixedRateConversionResult,
ConversionParameterForNonFixedRate,
TenantSettings,
buildConversionParameterForNonFixedRate
} from '@sap-cloud-sdk/currency-conversion-models';
import { SimpleIntegrationObjectsAdapter } from '@sap-cloud-sdk/currency-conversion-data-adapter';
import { CurrencyConverter } from '@sap-cloud-sdk/currency-conversion-core';
// Initialize the Currency Conversion Library.
const currConverter = new CurrencyConverter();
// Initialize the Data Adapter implementation you would like to use.
const dataAdapter = new SimpleIntegrationObjectsAdapter();
// Prepare the parameter for your conversion request.
const eurUsdMidParam: ConversionParameterForNonFixedRate = buildConversionParameterForNonFixedRate(
'EUR',
'USD',
'500.123',
'MID',
new Date('2020-02-01T02:30:00Z')
);
// Prepare the override tenant setting
const overrideTenantSetting: TenantSettings = { ratesDataProviderCode: 'MRM', ratesDataSource: 'ECB' };
// Call the conversion library for a single conversion using adapter.
try {
const singleConversionresult: SingleNonFixedRateConversionResult = await currConverter.convertCurrencyWithNonFixedRate(
eurUsdMidParam,
dataAdapter,
{ id: 'TenantID' },
overrideTenantSetting
);
const convertedAmount = singleConversionresult.convertedAmount.decimalValue;
} catch (error) {
// Exception handling here
}
- Bulk Conversion
// Or... if you would like to perform bulk conversions, use the following...
const jpyUsdMidParam: ConversionParameterForNonFixedRate = buildConversionParameterForNonFixedRate(
'JPY',
'USD',
'485.324',
'MID',
new Date('2020-01-01T02:30:00Z')
);
const paramList = [eurUsdMidParam, jpyUsdMidParam];
// ...and so on.
// Call the conversion library for bulk conversion.
let bulkConversionResult: BulkConversionResult<ConversionParameterForNonFixedRate, SingleNonFixedRateConversionResult>;
try {
bulkConversionResult = await currConverter.convertCurrenciesWithNonFixedRate(
paramList,
dataAdapter,
{ id: 'TenantID' },
overrideTenantSetting
);
} catch (error) {
// Exception handling here;
}
// Process the results.
paramList.forEach((param: ConversionParameterForNonFixedRate) => {
if (bulkConversionResult.get(param) instanceof SingleNonFixedRateConversionResult) {
const convertedAmount = (bulkConversionResult.get(param) as SingleNonFixedRateConversionResult).convertedAmount
.decimalValue;
} else {
// Handle specific failures.
}
});
