  • :start_retriever is a boolean indicating if the exchange rates retriever is to be started when the supervisor is started. The default is defined by the configuration key :auto_start_exchange_rate_service

Stop the Money.ExchangeRates.Supervisor.

Unless ex_money is configured in mix.exs as rumtime: false, the Money.ExchangeRates.Supervisor is always started when ex_money starts even if the config key :auto_start_exchange_rates_service is set to false.

In some instances an application may require the Money.ExchangeRates.Supervisor to be started under a different supervision tree. In this case it is required to call this function first before a new configuration is started.

One use case is when the Exchange Rates service is configured with either an API module, a Callback module or a Cache module which uses Ecto and therefore its a requirement that Ecto is started first.

See the README section on "Using Ecto or other applications from within the callback module" for an eanple of how to configure the supervisor in this case.
