Method Documentation
string exchangeRate(string fromCode, string toCode) |
Returns the currency exchange cross-rate between the two given fromCode and toCode currencies, denoted as ISO currency code (e.g. EUR).
string symbolForCurrencyCode(string currencyCode) |
Returns the currency symbol for the ISO currencyCode if available or the currencyCode itself otherwise. E.g. EUR will be mapped to €.
string toCurrencyString(real value, string symbol = "", int precision = 3) |
Correctly formats the given currency value according to the user's locale and returns it as a string. Also appends a currency symbol if provided. The default number of decimal places is 3, but you can change this via the precision parameter.
string toWeightString(real value, bool showUnit = false) |
Correctly formats the given weight value according to the user's locale and the metric/imperial setting in BrickStore and returns it as a string. Also appends the corresponding unit if showUnit is set to true.
