Currency-Convertor

A lightweight front-end currency converter built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

What it is

Currency-Convertor is a small single-page web app that lets users convert amounts between currencies in the browser. The app is implemented with plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript and is intended as a simple demo or learning project.

Features

• Simple user interface for selecting source and target currencies and entering an amount
• Instant client-side conversion logic
• Can be configured to use an external exchange-rate API (if implemented in code)

How to run

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/yps-coder/Currency-Convertor.git

2. Open the app:

   • Option A (recommended for local testing): Run a simple HTTP server from the project directory:
     • Python 3: python -m http.server 8000
     • Node (http-server): npx http-server . Then open http://localhost:8000 in your browser.
   • Option B: Open index.html directly in your browser (may be sufficient for pure client-side builds).

Configuration / API (if applicable)

If the app uses a third-party exchange-rate API, configure the API endpoint or API key in the main JavaScript file. Search the project for terms like fetch, axios, or common API names (fixer, exchangerate.host, openexchangerates) to see where to set an API key. Do not commit secret API keys to the repository.

Notes & recommendations

• Add a LICENSE file (MIT recommended) if you want others to reuse this code.
• Add a short description and screenshots (or enable GitHub Pages) to provide a live demo.
• If you plan to rely on a paid API, make sure to store keys securely (not in the repo).
