Hi,
I'm trying to solve the currency converter challenge given by Andrew Chalkley after the last course in Node.js Basics, and it's "working" for now with some minor bugs (You need to enter the currency in all uppercase for some odd reason).
I could use some feedback/input for what to add, fix or improve.
Console input: node app.js 50 DKK NOK
Console output: 50 DKK = 62 NOK
app.js
const currency = require('./currency');
const value = process.argv.slice(2);
const fromCurrency = process.argv.slice(3)[0];
const toCurrency = process.argv.slice(4);
currency.get(value, fromCurrency, toCurrency);
currency.js
const https = require('https');
function printError(error) {
console.error(error.message);
}
function get(value, fromCurrency, toCurrency) {
try {
const request = https.get(`https://api.fixer.io/latest?base=${fromCurrency}`, res => {
let body = "";
res.on('data', data => {
body += data;
});
res.on('end', () => {
try {
const amount = parseInt(value);
const currency = JSON.parse(body);
console.log(`${amount} ${currency.base} = ${Math.round(amount * currency.rates[toCurrency])} ${toCurrency}`);
} catch(err) {
printError(err);
}
});
});
request.on('error', err => {
printError(err);
});
} catch(err) {
printError(err);
}
}
module.exports.get = get;
