Overview
A web application built during my learning journey that allows users to convert between currencies in real time. It fetches live exchange rates from the ExchangeRatesAPI and performs bidirectional conversions.
How It Works
Users select a source and target currency from dropdown menus and enter an amount. The app fetches the latest exchange rates and calculates the conversion instantly. The interface supports bidirectional conversion — changing either the from or to amount updates the other.
Technologies
Built with Next.js and React.js for the frontend, Chakra UI for the component library and styling, and SWR for data fetching. The currency data comes from the ExchangeRatesAPI.
