Why I built it

A small front-end project to practice working with an external exchange-rate API behind a clean, usable conversion interface.

What it does

  • From and To input boxes with amount entry and currency dropdowns
  • Swap button to quickly switch the selected currencies
  • Convert button that triggers the conversion
  • Real-time exchange rates pulled from a currency conversion API

How it is built

A JavaScript web app that calls a currency conversion API, injecting the selected currency into the request URL to retrieve its rates.
