Real Time Currency Converter

Inspiration

The idea of this project was to help automate the needs of users who deal with international businesses daily and have to manually convert and feed into a column or use google searches for finding out.

What it does

Currency Converter is to be connected to two columns. FROM is the base currency in which you operate, TO is the desired currency to which you want to convert the currency. The app gets the value from the board using GraphQL API and gets the exchange rate from third party API (AlphaVantage).

How I built it

To get the name of the currency, the user needs to name the column with the currency symbol (USD, EUR, ...) or The last three letters of the column_name should be the currency symbol.

Challenges I ran into

Asynchronous code.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Asynchronous code

What I learned

Node.js

What's next for Currency Converter

• Add support where, if you change the column name then all the value of the column should change.
• I used the When column value updates trigger If the values are not changed for a day then we update the values with that days exchange rate.
