RockMoney - Provides tools for storing and using monetary values in an easy, yet powerful way.

Usage:

echo rockmoney()
  ->parse("1,4")
  ->minus(0.4)
  ->format(); // 1,00€

Why?

The short answer is, because 0.1 + 0.2 is not 0.3 in computer world:

You don't save money values in cents (or whatever the smallest unit is)?

What is your question? Are you asking about the inner workings of the module? The db storage? How the money library works?

No, nothing of that. I was just a bit surprised you don't save currency values in cents (for Euro and Dollar and similar for other currencies) and had the need for this.

As a drop-in solution, for already existing projects with tons of products/items, this seems perfect.

Well, you get all kind of weird rounding issues if you do that. Of course you could round() all results, but that is tedious and I'm not sure if that's 100% bulletproof:

As far as I understood from the documentation, the module is based on the well-known library https://github.com/moneyphp/money. This library is used by a lot of people who have to calculate finances. Yes, this library stores finance values in integer variables. That is, in cents. You are right. Why, are there other solutions?

Today @bernhard made it easy for us to integrate this library into ProcessWire. Many thanks to him.

What are modules written for? To speed up development. This module will speed up development? Yes, it will. That's what we need.

I once spent a lot of time and effort to integrate PDF formatting into a project. And then I took the RockPDF module and did in a couple of hours what had taken me a month before.

Thanks to @bernhard for his modules, which are beautiful.
