How do you find the currency from its code?

[antoineandrieu]

I want to find the dinero currency in the @dinero.js/currencies package from its code. What is the simplest way to do it?

Like having a function getCurrency that takes a string as an input and returns the right dinero currency.

The simplest way is to import all the currencies and to find the right module from its name.

import * as currencies from '@dinero.js/currencies';

const currencyCode = 'USD';
const dineroCurrency = currencies[currencyCode];

I recommend only importing the currencies that you know can be queried in your app, otherwise you'll bundle unused currencies.
