Upgrading To 1.0 From 0.3

There was a move to simplify the entire package, it was getting a little too crazy.

Updating Dependencies

Update your composer.json file to point to torann/currency 1.0.*.

Preset Currencies

The preset currencies that once shipped with the package inside of the migration file have been moved to an artisan command where you can pick and choose which currencies to support. Whereas the old method installed all of them.

See the manage artisan command for more.

Methods

Upgrading To 0.3 From 0.2

There was a move to middleware in v0.3 for handling user currency switching. Using the middleware, this fixes Bug 33.

Add Middleware

Append the middleware class to the $middleware variable within app/Http/Kernel.php.

protected $middleware = [

    \Torann\Currency\Middleware\CurrencyMiddleware::class,

]
