Use Case: Currency Exchange via MuleSoft Service
Overview
This project demonstrates the implementation of a currency exchange service using MuleSoft. The use case involves exchanging currency values between different currencies based on the provided exchange rates.
Use Case Description In this use case, we have implemented a currency exchange service that allows users to:
1.Set and update exchange rates for various currencies.
2.Check if exchange rates are available.
3.Convert a given amount from one currency to another based on the provided exchange rates.
4.The project consists of a MuleSoft API that interacts with a Java class called CurrencyConversionService to perform these operations.
Implementation Details
This currency exchange service is implemented with the following components:
-
Scheduled Maintenance: A MuleSoft scheduler logic runs daily at 5 AM (New York time) to clear stale exchange rates.
-
API Endpoints: Three MuleSoft API endpoints are exposed to facilitate currency exchange operations:
1. Set Exchange Rates: This endpoint allows you to insert or update exchange rates. The service leverages the CurrencyConversionService Java class via MuleSoft's invoke method to handle this functionality.
2. Check Exchange Rates Availability: This endpoint verifies if exchange rates are available in memory, providing information on the available currencies and their conversion rates.
3. Convert Currency: You can use this endpoint to perform currency conversion by specifying the source currency, target currency, and the amount to be converted.
