import { CodeTabs, CodeTab } from "docs-ui" export const metadata = { title: `Currency Module`, } # {metadata.title} In this section of the documentation, you will find resources to learn more about the Currency Module and how to use it in your application. Refer to the [Medusa Admin User Guide](!user-guide!/settings/store) to learn how to manage your store's currencies using the dashboard. Medusa has currency related features available out-of-the-box through the Currency Module. A [module](!docs!/learn/fundamentals/modules) is a standalone package that provides features for a single domain. Each of Medusa's commerce features are placed in commerce modules, such as this Currency Module. Learn more about why modules are isolated in [this documentation](!docs!/learn/fundamentals/modules/isolation). ## Currency Features - [Currency Management and Retrieval](/references/currency/listAndCountCurrencies): This module adds all common currencies to your application and allows you to retrieve them. - [Support Currencies in Modules](./links-to-other-modules/page.mdx): Other commerce modules use currency codes in their data models or operations. Use the Currency Module to retrieve a currency code and its details. --- ## How to Use the Currency Module In your Medusa application, you build flows around commerce modules. A flow is built as a [Workflow](!docs!/learn/fundamentals/workflows), which is a special function composed of a series of steps that guarantees data consistency and reliable roll-back mechanism. You can build custom workflows and steps. You can also re-use Medusa's workflows and steps, which are provided by the `@medusajs/medusa/core-flows` package. For example: export const highlights = [ ["13", "Modules.CURRENCY", "Resolve the module in a step."] ] ```ts title="src/workflows/retrieve-price-with-currency.ts" highlights={highlights} import { createWorkflow, WorkflowResponse, createStep, StepResponse, transform, } from "@medusajs/framework/workflows-sdk" import { Modules } from "@medusajs/framework/utils" const retrieveCurrencyStep = createStep( "retrieve-currency", async ({}, { container }) => { const currencyModuleService = container.resolve(Modules.CURRENCY) const currency = await currencyModuleService .retrieveCurrency("usd") return new StepResponse({ currency }) } ) type Input = { price: number } export const retrievePriceWithCurrency = createWorkflow( "create-currency", (input: Input) => { const { currency } = retrieveCurrencyStep() const formattedPrice = transform({ input, currency, }, (data) => { return `${data.currency.symbol}${data.input.price}` }) return new WorkflowResponse({ formattedPrice, }) } ) ``` You can then execute the workflow in your custom API routes, scheduled jobs, or subscribers: ```ts title="src/api/workflow/route.ts" highlights={[["11"], ["12"], ["13"], ["14"]]} collapsibleLines="1-6" expandButtonLabel="Show Imports" import type { MedusaRequest, MedusaResponse, } from "@medusajs/framework/http" import { retrievePriceWithCurrency } from "../../workflows/retrieve-price-with-currency" export async function GET( req: MedusaRequest, res: MedusaResponse ) { const { result } = await retrievePriceWithCurrency(req.scope) .run({ price: 10, }) res.send(result) } ``` ```ts title="src/subscribers/user-created.ts" highlights={[["11"], ["12"], ["13"], ["14"]]} collapsibleLines="1-6" expandButtonLabel="Show Imports" import { type SubscriberConfig, type SubscriberArgs, } from "@medusajs/framework" import { retrievePriceWithCurrency } from "../workflows/retrieve-price-with-currency" export default async function handleUserCreated({ event: { data }, container, }: SubscriberArgs<{ id: string }>) { const { result } = await retrievePriceWithCurrency(container) .run({ price: 10, }) console.log(result) } export const config: SubscriberConfig = { event: "user.created", } ``` ```ts title="src/jobs/run-daily.ts" highlights={[["7"], ["8"], ["9"], ["10"]]} import { MedusaContainer } from "@medusajs/framework/types" import { retrievePriceWithCurrency } from "../workflows/retrieve-price-with-currency" export default async function myCustomJob( container: MedusaContainer ) { const { result } = await retrievePriceWithCurrency(container) .run({ price: 10, }) console.log(result) } export const config = { name: "run-once-a-day", schedule: `0 0 * * *`, } ``` Learn more about workflows in [this documentation](!docs!/learn/fundamentals/workflows). ---
