Easily extendable — just add a new Language class.

Adding a New Language

Create a class in src/Languages/, for example French.php.
Implement the LanguageInterface.

<?php
namespace AzMolla\SpellMoney\Languages;

use AzMolla\SpellMoney\Contracts\LanguageInterface;

class French implements LanguageInterface
{
    public function normalizeNumber(string $number): string
    {
        return $number; // French uses Arabic numerals
    }

    public function toWords(int $num): string
    {
        // Implement French spelling here
        return "cent vingt-trois"; // 123
    }

    public function getCurrency(): string { return "euro"; }
    public function getSubCurrency(): string { return "centime"; }
}

Use it in code:

$spell = new SpellMoney(new French());
echo $spell->spell(123.45);
// cent vingt-trois euro quarante-cinq centimes
