// allemand + +$allLanguages = $languageRepository->getAll(); +``` + +Implementing the library +------------------------ +While the library can be used as-is, most applications will want to store the +relevant definitions (currencies, countries, etc) in the database. +This allows for better performance while giving users the ability to modify and +expand the data. + +Taking currencies as an example, a merchant frequently wants to be able to: + +- Define custom currencies. +- Enable/disable existing currencies +- Modify an existing currency (changing the default number of fraction digits, for example). + +This would be accomplished by using the CurrencyRepository to get all default currencies and +insert them into the database. The doctrine entity (or any similar data object) would then implement +the CurrencyInterface so that the NumberFormatter can continue to work. + +Related projects +---------------- +[commerceguys/pricing](http://github.com/commerceguys/pricing) provides a Price object. |
