Change currency symbol in spree
Posted by: Prachi | 03 Sep 2013 | CommentsI am using spree 1.3.3 in my rails application with INR currency and want to convert its symbol to ‘₹’
In spree, money gem is used for money and currency conversion which takes old symbol ‘Rs’ for INR currency.
As in spree there is no default configuration to set currency_symbol, we have to provide :symbol option which will be set by money gem.
To do this , I have override initialize method of spree’s money class .
First you have to check that your application is able to load ../lib/**/*_decorator.rb . If not, please configured your rails app to load it.
In config/application.rb add -
# Load Lib decorators
Dir.glob(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "../lib/**/*_decorator*.rb")) do |c|
Rails.configuration.cache_classes ? require(c) : load(c)
end
In /lib/spree/money_decorator.rb
def initialize(amount, options={})
@money = ::Money.parse([amount, (options[:currency] || Spree::Config[:currency])].join)
@options = {}
@options[:with_currency] = Spree::Config[:display_currency]
@options[:symbol_position] = Spree::Config[:currency_symbol_position].to_sym
@options[:no_cents] = Spree::Config[:hide_cents]
@options[:decimal_mark] = Spree::Config[:currency_decimal_mark]
@options[:thousands_separator] = Spree::Config[:currency_thousands_separator]
# add currency_symbol
@options[:symbol] = '₹'
@options.merge!(options)
# Must be a symbol because the Money gem doesn't do the conversion
@options[:symbol_position] = @options[:symbol_position].to_sym
end
Now it works, the money gem takes care of :symbol and use it to convert to currency with our custom_symbol ‘₹’
