# Currency-converter
Load the project in your code editor then run `npm i` in your terminal, then run `ionic serve`, making sure you have the CLI installed on your machine.
## What is it?
This is a Currency converter app built using TypeScript, Angular, Ionic, RxJS, Jasmine and Karma. It uses the fixer API on the backend and also makes use of Angular animations and the ng-particles package.
## Challenges
One of the main challenges I faced was using RxJS and the "subject as a service" style of state management. This meant simply subscribing to observables in my components and keeping any logic that manipulated them in the service itself. I managed this by brushing up on rxjs at rxjs.io and also following Joshua Moroney's videos on the subject on Youtube.
## Features
- Convert euros to a selection of currencies as well as pick which amount
- Form uses validation to ensure correct inputs by user
- Particle background that reacts to user's mouse movements
## Development server
Run `ionic serve` for a dev server. Navigate to `http://localhost:4200/`. The application will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
## Code scaffolding
Run `ionic generate component component-name` to generate a new component. You can also use `ionic generate directive|pipe|service|class|guard|interface|enum|module`.
## Build
Run `ionic build` to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the `www/` directory.
## Running unit tests
Run `ng test` to execute the unit tests via [Karma](https://karma-runner.github.io).
## Running end-to-end tests
Run `ng e2e` to execute the end-to-end tests via a platform of your choice. To use this command, you need to first add a package that implements end-to-end testing capabilities.
