View Source Money (Money v5.12.1)

Money implements a set of functions to store, retrieve, convert and perform arithmetic on a Money.t/0 type that is composed of a currency code and a decimal currency amount.

Money is very opinionated in the interests of serving as a dependable library that can underpin accounting and financial applications.

This opinion expressed by ensuring that:

  1. Money must always have both a amount and a currency code.

  2. The currency code must always be valid.

  3. Money arithmetic can only be performed when both operands are of the same currency.

  4. Money amounts are represented as a Decimal.

  5. Money is serialised to the database as a custom Postgres composite type that includes both the amount and the currency. Therefore for Ecto serialization Postgres is assumed as the data store. Serialization is entirely optional and Ecto is not a package dependency.

  6. All arithmetic functions work in fixed point decimal. No rounding occurs automatically (unless expressly called out for a function).

  7. Explicit rounding obeys the rounding rules for a given currency. The rounding rules are defined by the Unicode consortium in its CLDR repository as implemented by the hex package ex_cldr. These rules define the number of fractional digits for a currency and the rounding increment where appropriate.

Types

An amount can be expressed as a float, an integer, a Decimal or a string (which is converted to a Decimal)

A currency code is an ISO 4217 code expressed as an atom or binary or an ISO 24165 Digital Token ID or Digital Token short name.

t()

Money is composed of an atom representation of an ISO4217 currency code and a Decimal representation of an amount.

from_float!(currency_code, amount, options \\ [])

View Source (since 2.0.0)
@spec from_float!(currency_code(), float(), Keyword.t()) :: t() | no_return()

Returns a %Money{} struct from a currency code and a float amount, or raises an exception if the currency code is invalid.

See Money.from_float/2 for further information.

Note that Money cannot detect lack of precision or rounding errors introduced upstream. This function therefore should be used with great care and its use should be considered potentially harmful.

arguments

Arguments

  • currency_code is an ISO4217 binary or atom currency code or an ISO 24165 token identifier or shortname.

  • amount is a float

  • options is a keyword list of options passed to Money.new/3. The default is [].

from_float(currency_code, amount, options \\ [])

View Source (since 2.0.0)
@spec from_float(float() | currency_code(), float() | currency_code(), Keyword.t()) ::
  t() | {:error, {module(), String.t()}}

Returns a %Money{} struct from a currency code and a float amount, or an error tuple of the form {:error, {exception, message}}.

Floats are fraught with danger in computer arithmetic due to the unexpected loss of precision during rounding. The IEEE754 standard indicates that a number with a precision of 16 digits should round-trip convert without loss of fidelity. This function supports numbers with a precision up to 15 digits and will error if the provided amount is outside that range.

Note that Money cannot detect lack of precision or rounding errors introduced upstream. This function therefore should be used with great care and its use should be considered potentially harmful.

arguments

Arguments

  • currency_code is an ISO4217 binary or atom currency code or an ISO 24165 token identifier or shortname.

  • amount is a float

  • options is a keyword list of options passed to Money.new/3. The default is [].

from_integer(amount, currency, options \\ [])

View Source
@spec from_integer(integer(), currency_code(), Keyword.t()) ::
  t() | {:error, {module(), String.t()}}

Convert an integer representation of money into a Money struct.

arguments

Arguments

  • integer is an integer representation of a money amount including any decimal digits. ie. 20000 would be interpreted to mean $200.00 if the currency is :USD and no :fractional_digits option was provided.

  • currency is the currency code for the integer. The assumed decimal precision is derived from the currency code if no fractional_digits option is specified.

  • options is a keyword list of options.

options

Options

  • :fractional_digits which determines the currency precision implied by the integer. The valid options are :cash, :accounting, :iso or a non-negative integer. The default is :iso which uses the ISO 4217 definition of currency digits.

All other options are passed to Money.new/3.

returns

Returns

  • A Money.t/0 struct or

  • {:error, {exception, message}}

notes

Notes

Some currencies, like the Iraqi Dinar have a difference in the decimal digits defined by CLDR versus those defined by ISO 4217. CLDR defines the decimal digits for IQD as 0 whereas ISO 4217 defines 3 decimal digits.

Since converting an integer to a money amount is very sensitive to the number of fractional digits specified it is important to be very clear about the precision of the data used with this function and care taken in specifying the :fractional_digits parameter.

examples

Examples

iex> Money.from_integer(20000, :USD)
Money.new(:USD, "200.00")

parse(string, options \\ [])

View Source (since 3.2.0)
@spec parse(String.t(), Keyword.t()) :: t() | {:error, {module(), String.t()}}

Parse a string and return a Money.t/0 or an error.

The string to be parsed is required to have a currency code and an amount. The currency code may be placed before the amount or after, but not both.

Parsing is strict. Additional text surrounding the currency code and amount will cause the parse to fail.

arguments

Arguments

  • string is a string to be parsed

  • options is a keyword list of options that is passed to Money.new/3 with the exception of the options listed below

options

Options

  • :backend is any module() that includes use Cldr and therefore is a Cldr backend module(). The default is Money.default_backend()

  • :locale is any valid locale returned by Cldr.known_locale_names/1 or a Cldr.LanguageTag struct returned by Cldr.Locale.new!/2 The default is <backend>.get_locale()

  • :only is an atom or list of atoms representing the currencies or currency types to be considered for a match. The equates to a list of acceptable currencies for parsing. See the notes below for currency types.

  • :except is an atom or list of atoms representing the currencies or currency types to be not considered for a match. This equates to a list of unacceptable currencies for parsing. See the notes below for currency types.

  • :fuzzy is a float greater than 0.0 and less than or equal to 1.0 which is used as input to the String.jaro_distance/2 to determine is the provided currency string is close enough to a known currency string for it to identify definitively a currency code. It is recommended to use numbers greater than 0.8 in order to reduce false positives.

  • :default_currency is any valid currency code or false that will used if no currency code, symbol or description is indentified in the parsed string. The default is nil which means that the default currency associated with the :locale option will be used. If false then the currency assocated with the :locale option will not be used and an error will be returned if there is no currency in the string being parsed.

returns

Returns

  • a Money.t/0 if parsing is successful or

  • {:error, {exception, reason}} if an error is detected.

notes

Notes

The :only and :except options accept a list of currency codes and/or currency types. The following types are recognised.

If both :only and :except are specified, the :except entries take priority - that means any entries in :except are removed from the :only entries.

  • :all, the default, considers all currencies

  • :current considers those currencies that have a :to date of nil and which also is a known ISO4217 currency

  • :historic is the opposite of :current

  • :tender considers currencies that are legal tender

  • :unannotated considers currencies that don't have "(some string)" in their names. These are usually financial instruments.

put_fraction(money, fraction \\ 0)

View Source

Set the fractional part of a Money.

arguments

Arguments

  • money is any Money.t/0

  • fraction is an integer amount that will be set as the fraction of the money

notes

Notes

The fraction can only be set if it matches the number of decimal digits for the currency associated with the money. Therefore, for a currency with 2 decimal digits, the maximum for fraction is 99.

examples

Examples

iex> Money.put_fraction Money.new(:USD, "2.49"), 99
Money.new(:USD, "2.99")

iex> Money.put_fraction Money.new(:USD, "2.49"), 0
Money.new(:USD, "2.0")

iex> Money.put_fraction Money.new(:USD, "2.49"), 999

round(money, opts \\ [])

View Source
@spec round(t(), Keyword.t()) :: t()

Round a Money value into the acceptable range for the requested currency.

arguments

Arguments

  • money is any Money.t/0

  • opts is a keyword list of options

options

Options

  • :rounding_mode that defines how the number will be rounded. See Decimal.Context. The default is :half_even which is also known as "banker's rounding"

  • :currency_digits which determines the rounding increment. The valid options are :cash, :accounting and :iso or an integer value representing the rounding factor. The default is :iso.

notes

Notes

There are two kinds of rounding applied:

  1. Round to the appropriate number of fractional digits

  2. Apply an appropriate rounding increment. Most currencies round to the same precision as the number of decimal digits, but some such as :CHF round to a minimum such as 0.05 when its a cash amount. The rounding increment is applied when the option :currency_digits is set to :cash

  3. Digital Tokens (crypto currencies) do not have formal definitions of decimal digits or rounding strategies. Therefore the money is returned unmodified.

examples

Examples

iex> Money.round Money.new("123.73", :CHF), currency_digits: :cash
Money.new(:CHF, "123.75")

iex> Money.round Money.new("123.73", :CHF), currency_digits: 0
Money.new(:CHF, "124")

iex> Money.round Money.new("123.7456", :CHF)

iex> Money.round Money.new("123.7456", :JPY)
Money.new(:JPY, "124")
@spec split(t(), non_neg_integer()) :: {t(), t()}

Split a Money value into a number of parts maintaining the currency's precision and rounding and ensuring that the parts sum to the original amount.

arguments

Arguments

  • money is any Money.t/0

  • parts is an integer number of parts into which the money is split

Returns a tuple {dividend, remainder} as the function result derived as follows:

  1. Round the money amount to the required currency precision using Money.round/1

  2. Divide the result of step 1 by the integer divisor

  3. Round the result of the division to the precision of the currency using Money.round/1

  4. Return two numbers: the result of the division and any remainder that could not be applied given the precision of the currency.

to_integer_exp(money, opts \\ [])

View Source

Returns a tuple comprising the currency code, integer amount, exponent and remainder

Some services require submission of money items as an integer with an implied exponent that is appropriate to the currency.

Rather than return only the integer, Money.to_integer_exp returns the currency code, integer, exponent and remainder. The remainder is included because to return an integer money with an implied exponent the Money has to be rounded potentially leaving a remainder.

options

notes

Notes

  • Since the returned integer is expected to have the implied fractional digits the Money needs to be rounded which is what this function does.

example

Example

iex> m = Money.new(:USD, "200.012356")
Money.new(:USD, "200.012356")
iex> Money.to_integer_exp(m)
