A Gatsby source plugin for retrieving data from the exchangeratesapi.io API.
Install the package as a dependency
yarn add gatsby-source-exchange-rates-api
Add the plugin to your gatsby-config.js
file
// gatsby-config.js
{
plugins: [
{
resolve: 'gatsby-source-exchange-rates-api',
}
]
}
You can select the endpoint to fetch from by specifying endpoint
in the plugins options
object. The default is the endpoint latest
. You can also specify query parameters as a query
object (default is no query).
Exchange Rates API documentation: (Github) (Website)
// gatsby-config.js
{
resolve: 'gatsby-source-exchange-rates-api',
options: {
endpoint: 'history', // (optional) default is "latest"
query: { // (optional)
base: 'SEK',
symbols: 'EUR,USD',
start_at: '2019-02-01',
end_at: '2019-02-03',
},
}
}
If you use the default endpoint latest
you will get one node with the latest rates. If you use the endpoint history
there will be multiple rates returned as an array instead.
// Get the latest rates
useStaticQuery(graphql`
query {
exchangeRates {
id
date
USD
}
}
`)
// Get an array of history rates
useStaticQuery(graphql`
query {
allExchangeRates {
edges {
node {
id
date
USD
EUR
}
}
}
}
`)
