money_column expects a DECIMAL(21,3) database field.
- Keeps value in decimal
- Provides a
Money
class which encapsulates all information about an certain amount of money, such as its value and its currency. - Provides a
Money::Currency
class which encapsulates all information about a monetary unit. - Does NOT provides APIs for exchanging money from one currency to another.
- wont lose pennies during division!
- Money::NullCurrency for no currency support

require 'money'
# 10.00 USD
money = Money.new(10.00, "USD")
money.subunits #=> 1000
money.currency #=> Currency.new("USD")
# Comparisons
Money.new(1000, "USD") == Money.new(1000, "USD") #=> true
Money.new(1000, "USD") == Money.new(100, "USD") #=> false
Money.new(1000, "USD") == Money.new(1000, "EUR") #=> false
Money.new(1000, "USD") != Money.new(1000, "EUR") #=> true
# Arithmetic
Money.new(1000, "USD") + Money.new(500, "USD") == Money.new(1500, "USD")
Money.new(1000, "USD") - Money.new(200, "USD") == Money.new(800, "USD")
Money.new(1000, "USD") / 5 == Money.new(200, "USD")
Money.new(1000, "USD") * 5 == Money.new(5000, "USD")
# Unit to subunit conversions
Money.from_subunits(500, "USD") == Money.new(5, "USD") # 5 USD
Money.from_subunits(5, "JPY") == Money.new(5, "JPY") # 5 JPY
Money.from_subunits(5000, "TND") == Money.new(5, "TND") # 5 TND
Currencies are consistently represented as instances of Money::Currency
.
The most part of Money
APIs allows you to supply either a String
or a
Money::Currency
.
Money.new(1000, "USD") == Money.new(1000, Money::Currency.new("USD"))
Money.new(1000, "EUR").currency == Money::Currency.new("EUR")
A Money::Currency
instance holds all the information about the currency,
including the currency symbol, name and much more.
currency = Money.new(1000, "USD").currency
currency.iso_code #=> "USD"
currency.name #=> "United States Dollar"
currency.to_s #=> 'USD'
currency.symbol #=> '$'
currency.disambiguate_symbol #=> 'US$'
By default Money
defaults to Money::NullCurrency as its currency. This is a
global variable that can be changed using:
Money.configure do |config|
config.default_currency = Money::Currency.new("USD")
end
In web apps you might want to set the default currency on a per request basis. In Rails you can do this with an around action, for example:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
around_action :set_currency
private
def set_currency
Money.with_currency(current_shop.currency) { yield }
end
end
The exponent of a money value is the number of digits after the decimal separator (which separates the major unit from the minor unit).
Money::Currency.new("USD").minor_units # => 2
Money::Currency.new("JPY").minor_units # => 0
Money::Currency.new("MGA").minor_units # => 1
Since money internally uses BigDecimal it's logical to use a decimal
column
(or money
for PostgreSQL) for your database. The money_column
method can
generate methods for use with ActiveRecord:
create_table :orders do |t|
t.decimal :sub_total, precision: 21, scale: 3
t.decimal :tax, precision: 21, scale: 3
t.string :currency, limit: 3
end
class Order < ApplicationRecord
money_column :sub_total, :tax
end
option | type | description |
---|---|---|
currency_column | method | column from which to read/write the currency |
currency | string | hardcoded currency value |
currency_read_only | boolean | when true, currency_column won't write the currency back into the db. Must be set to true if currency_column is an attr_reader or delegate. Default: false |
coerce_null | boolean | when true, a nil value will be returned as Money.zero. Default: false |
You can use multiple money_column
calls to achieve the desired effects with
currency on the model or attribute level.
There are no validations generated. You can add these for the specified money and currency attributes as you normally would for any other.
A RuboCop rule to enforce the presence of a currency using static analysis is available.
Add to your .rubocop.yml
require:
- money
Money/MissingCurrency:
Enabled: true
If your application is currently handling only one currency, it can autocorrect this by specifying a currency under the Enabled
line:
ReplacementCurrency: 'CAD'
- Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
- Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
- Fork the project
- Start a feature/bugfix branch
- Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
- Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
