Title: Javascript currency conversion tool for Bitcoin merchants Post by: litehacker on February 17, 2013, 09:50:56 PM Hello everyone,
I recently added BitPay as a payment option to my website. However I didn't have the ability to easily convert all of my USD prices to Bitcoin automatically. As a result, I've now built a multiple currency, auto detecting, library which allows you to easily convert your prices to Bitcoin to display to the user quickly.

Title: Re: Javascript currency conversion tool for Bitcoin merchants Post by: litehacker on February 18, 2013, 12:02:22 AM javascript itself doesn like pulling webcontent from remote servers (price ticker api's). the closest you can get simply is by researching AJAX http://w3schools.com/ajax/ajax_example.asp (http://w3schools.com/ajax/ajax_example.asp) I am not pulling remote server content with javascript. That is against the same origin policy. Plus if it were to keep pinging the bitcoincharts API every time someone views a merchant page, bitcoincharts wouldn't be very happy. The conversion rates are cached. Makes the javascript calls much faster. |
