To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Testing

By default all requests to https://api.fixer.io are stubbed and VCR gem is used to replay HTTP responses. If you want to send real requests, please copy config/fixerio_client.yml.sample to config/fixerio_client.yml and put your real API key there. Then run:

VCR_OFF=1 rspec spec
