Parsing

The Money package provides a number of methods to parse a monetary amount:

• Money.parse

• Currency.parse

• Currencies.parse

You may also find Fixed.parse is useful for parsing decimal values which can then be used to create a Money instance.

Money.parse

Allows you to parse a string containing a monetary amount.

When using Money.parse you must know the currency of the monetary amount.

import 'package:money2/money2.dart';
import 'package:test/test.dart';

void main() {
  test('Parse money', () {
    /// Parse the amount using default pattern for AUD.
    var t1 = Money.parse(r'10.00', code: 'AUD');
    expect(t1.toString(), equals(r'$10.00'));

    var t2 = Money.parse(r'$10.00', code: 'AUD');
    expect(t1.amount, equals(Fixed.fromNum(10.00)));

    /// Parse using an alternate pattern
    var t3 = Money.parse(r'$10.00 AUD', code: 'AUD', pattern: 'S0.00 CCC');
    expect(t1.amount, equals(Fixed.parse('10.00', scale: 2)));
  });
}

Currency.parse

Parse a monetary amount for a known currency.

import 'package:money2/money2.dart';
import 'package:test/test.dart';

void main() {

  test('parse with Currency', () {
    /// Parse using a currency.
    var t1 = CommonCurrencies().aud.parse(r'$10.00');
    expect(t1.toString(), equals(r'$10.00'));
    expect(t1.currency.code, equals('AUD'));
  });
}

Currencies.parse

Allows you to parse a monetary amount using an embedded currency code to derive the currency.

import 'package:money2/money2.dart';
import 'package:test/test.dart';

void main() {
   
  test('parse with unknown currency', () {
    var t1 = Currencies().parse(r'$AUD10.00');
    expect(t1.toString(), equals(r'$10.00'));
    expect(t1.currency.code, equals('AUD'));
  });
}

If you got this far you deserve a prize.

If you have enough money it's good to tout.

But a word to the unwise.

Spending it gladly can lead to a drought.
