Magento 2 Get Currency Symbol from Currency Code

Question

I have below code

$currencyManager        = $_objectManager->create('Magento\Directory\Model\CurrencyFactory')->create()->getResource(); 
echo $currencySymbol    = $currencyManager->getCurrencyCodeFromToCurrency('USD');

It gives fatal error

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Magento\Directory\Model\ResourceModel\Currency::getCurrencyCodeFromToCurrency()

Can anybody guide me to get Currency Symbol from Currency Code?

Answer 1

It should be:

$currency = $_objectManager->create('Magento\Directory\Model\CurrencyFactory')->create()->load($currencyCode);
$currencySymbol = $currency->getCurrencySymbol();

It would be beter to use CurrencyRepository but it's not yet implemented in Magento 2.

Answer 2

We can do this using Constructor injection.

/**
 * @var \Magento\Framework\Locale\CurrencyInterface
 */
protected $_localeCurrency

public function __construct(
    \Magento\Framework\Locale\CurrencyInterface $localeCurrency
)
{
    $this->_localecurrency = $localeCurrency;
}

Now you can use below code in your function to get currency symbol.

$this->_localecurrency->getCurrency($currencycode)->getSymbol();

Answer 3

To get the symbol:

$_objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$_Symbol = $_objectManager->create('Magento\Directory\Model\CurrencyFactory')->create()->load($_code);
echo $_Symbol->getCurrencySymbol();

Answer 4

Instead of using object manager try with currency interface

public function __construct(
        \Magento\Framework\Locale\CurrencyInterface $localeCurrency
    )
{
    $this->localecurrency = $localeCurrency;
}
$this->localecurrency->getCurrency($currencycode)->getSymbol();

It also works like this:

$objectManager =  \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();

$storeManager =$objectManager>get('\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface');
$currency = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Directory\Model\Currency');

$store = $storeManager->getStore();

print_r($store->getWebsite()->getBaseCurrency()->getCurrencySymbol());
