Creating Money

The Money2 package provide a number of methods to create a Money instance.

• Money.fromFixed - from a Fixed decimal

• Money.fromInt - from a minorUnit (e.g. cents) stored as an int.

• Money.fromBigInt - from a minorUnit stored as a BigInt.

• Money.parse - parse a monetary string containing an amount.

• Money.fromNum - from a num (int or double) - not recommended

• Money.fromDecimal - from a Decimal

• Currency.parse - parse a monetary string assuming the currency

• Currencies.parse - parse a monetary string and determine the currency from the

  embedded currency code.

The Money variants all require you to pass in the Currency or a currency code. The Currency variant requires only the monetary value. The Currencies variant is able to determine Currency if the passed string amount contains a currency code.

The two most common methods are:

• Money.fromFixed

• Currency.parse
