| 1 | +# Econify Integration Brief: Enhanced Explain Structure & FX Dates |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Overview |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Econify has been enhanced with a **clean component structure** (v0.2.6) and **FX |
| 6 | +date transparency** (v0.2.7) for optimal frontend integration. This brief covers |
| 7 | +the changes needed in your consumer repository. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## 🎯 Key Changes |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +### 1. Clean Component Structure (v0.2.6) |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +- **Before**: Nested `units.original/normalized` structure requiring string |
| 14 | + parsing |
| 15 | +- **After**: Direct access fields: `currency`, `scale`, `timeScale` |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +### 2. FX Date Transparency (v0.2.7) |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +- **New**: `FXTable.dates` field for rate timestamps |
| 20 | +- **New**: `explain.fx.asOf` field in metadata |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +--- |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +## 📊 Updated Explain Structure |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +### New Structure (v0.2.7) |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +```typescript |
| 29 | +interface Explain { |
| 30 | + // 🆕 Direct access components (no string parsing needed) |
| 31 | + currency?: { |
| 32 | + original?: string; // "XOF", "EUR" |
| 33 | + normalized: string; // "USD" |
| 34 | + }; |
| 35 | + scale?: { |
| 36 | + original?: Scale; // "billions", "millions" |
| 37 | + normalized: Scale; // "millions" |
| 38 | + }; |
| 39 | + timeScale?: { |
| 40 | + original?: TimeScale; // "quarter", "year" |
| 41 | + normalized?: TimeScale; // "month" |
| 42 | + }; |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + // 🆕 Enhanced FX with dates |
| 45 | + fx?: { |
| 46 | + currency: string; // "XOF" |
| 47 | + base: "USD"; |
| 48 | + rate: number; // 558.16 |
| 49 | + asOf?: string; // "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z" ← NEW! |
| 50 | + source: "live" | "fallback"; |
| 51 | + sourceId?: string; // "SNP" |
| 52 | + }; |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | + // Existing fields (unchanged) |
| 55 | + units?: { |
| 56 | + originalUnit?: string; |
| 57 | + normalizedUnit: string; |
| 58 | + originalFullUnit?: string; |
| 59 | + normalizedFullUnit?: string; |
| 60 | + }; |
| 61 | + magnitude?: {/* ... */}; |
| 62 | + periodicity?: {/* ... */}; |
| 63 | + conversion?: {/* ... */}; |
| 64 | +} |
| 65 | +``` |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +--- |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +## 🔧 Frontend Integration Changes |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +### Before (String Parsing Required) |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +```javascript |
| 74 | +// ❌ Old way - required string parsing |
| 75 | +const unitString = item.explain.units?.originalUnit; // "XOF billions" |
| 76 | +const currency = extractCurrencyFromString(unitString); // Manual parsing |
| 77 | +const scale = extractScaleFromString(unitString); // Manual parsing |
| 78 | +``` |
| 79 | +
|
| 80 | +### After (Direct Access) |
| 81 | +
|
| 82 | +```javascript |
| 83 | +// ✅ New way - direct property access |
| 84 | +const currency = item.explain.currency?.original; // "XOF" |
| 85 | +const scale = item.explain.scale?.original; // "billions" |
| 86 | +const timeScale = item.explain.timeScale?.original; // "quarter" |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +// ✅ Easy conditional logic |
| 89 | +const currencyChanged = |
| 90 | + item.explain.currency?.original !== item.explain.currency?.normalized; |
| 91 | +const scaleChanged = |
| 92 | + item.explain.scale?.original !== item.explain.scale?.normalized; |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +// ✅ FX date information |
| 95 | +const fxDate = item.explain.fx?.asOf; // "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z" |
| 96 | +const rateAge = fxDate ? new Date() - new Date(fxDate) : null; |
| 97 | +``` |
| 98 | +
|
| 99 | +--- |
| 100 | +
|
| 101 | +## 🔄 Required Updates in Consumer Repo |
| 102 | +
|
| 103 | +### 1. Update FX Fallback Configuration |
| 104 | +
|
| 105 | +**Before:** |
| 106 | +
|
| 107 | +```typescript |
| 108 | +const fxFallback = { |
| 109 | + base: "USD", |
| 110 | + rates: { |
| 111 | + XOF: 558.16, |
| 112 | + EUR: 0.92, |
| 113 | + }, |
| 114 | +}; |
| 115 | +``` |
| 116 | +
|
| 117 | +**After (with SNP database dates):** |
| 118 | +
|
| 119 | +```typescript |
| 120 | +const fxFallback = { |
| 121 | + base: "USD", |
| 122 | + rates: { |
| 123 | + XOF: 558.16, |
| 124 | + EUR: 0.92, |
| 125 | + }, |
| 126 | + dates: { |
| 127 | + XOF: "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z", // From SNP database |
| 128 | + EUR: "2024-01-15T09:45:00Z", // From SNP database |
| 129 | + }, |
| 130 | +}; |
| 131 | +``` |
| 132 | +
|
| 133 | +### 2. Update Frontend Components |
| 134 | +
|
| 135 | +**Conversion Display Component:** |
| 136 | +
|
| 137 | +```typescript |
| 138 | +const ConversionDisplay = ({ item }: { item: ProcessedData }) => { |
| 139 | + const { explain } = item; |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | + return ( |
| 142 | + <div className="conversion-display"> |
| 143 | + {/* Currency conversion */} |
| 144 | + {explain?.currency && ( |
| 145 | + <div className="currency-conversion"> |
| 146 | + <span className="original">{explain.currency.original}</span> |
| 147 | + <span className="arrow">→</span> |
| 148 | + <span className="normalized">{explain.currency.normalized}</span> |
| 149 | + </div> |
| 150 | + )} |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | + {/* Scale conversion */} |
| 153 | + {explain?.scale && ( |
| 154 | + <div className="scale-conversion"> |
| 155 | + <span className="original">{explain.scale.original}</span> |
| 156 | + <span className="arrow">→</span> |
| 157 | + <span className="normalized">{explain.scale.normalized}</span> |
| 158 | + </div> |
| 159 | + )} |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | + {/* FX rate with date */} |
| 162 | + {explain?.fx && ( |
| 163 | + <div className="fx-info"> |
| 164 | + <span>Rate: {explain.fx.rate}</span> |
| 165 | + {explain.fx.asOf && ( |
| 166 | + <span className="fx-date"> |
| 167 | + Updated: {formatDate(explain.fx.asOf)} |
| 168 | + </span> |
| 169 | + )} |
| 170 | + </div> |
| 171 | + )} |
| 172 | + </div> |
| 173 | + ); |
| 174 | +}; |
| 175 | +``` |
| 176 | +
|
| 177 | +**Tooltip Component:** |
| 178 | +
|
| 179 | +```typescript |
| 180 | +const ConversionTooltip = ({ item }: { item: ProcessedData }) => { |
| 181 | + const { explain } = item; |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | + const buildTooltipText = () => { |
| 184 | + const parts = []; |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | + if (explain?.currency?.original !== explain?.currency?.normalized) { |
| 187 | + parts.push( |
| 188 | + `${explain.currency.original} → ${explain.currency.normalized}`, |
| 189 | + ); |
| 190 | + } |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | + if (explain?.scale?.original !== explain?.scale?.normalized) { |
| 193 | + parts.push(`${explain.scale.original} → ${explain.scale.normalized}`); |
| 194 | + } |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | + if (explain?.timeScale?.original !== explain?.timeScale?.normalized) { |
| 197 | + parts.push( |
| 198 | + `${explain.timeScale.original} → ${explain.timeScale.normalized}`, |
| 199 | + ); |
| 200 | + } |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | + return parts.join(", "); |
| 203 | + }; |
| 204 | + |
| 205 | + return ( |
| 206 | + <div className="tooltip"> |
| 207 | + <div>{buildTooltipText()}</div> |
| 208 | + {explain?.fx?.asOf && ( |
| 209 | + <div className="rate-freshness"> |
| 210 | + Rate from {formatDate(explain.fx.asOf)} |
| 211 | + </div> |
| 212 | + )} |
| 213 | + </div> |
| 214 | + ); |
| 215 | +}; |
| 216 | +``` |
| 217 | +
|
| 218 | +### 3. Update Data Processing Pipeline |
| 219 | +
|
| 220 | +**SNP Database Integration:** |
| 221 | +
|
| 222 | +```typescript |
| 223 | +// Fetch FX rates with dates from SNP database |
| 224 | +const fetchFXRatesFromSNP = async (): Promise<FXTable> => { |
| 225 | + const rates = await snpDatabase.getFXRates(); |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | + return { |
| 228 | + base: "USD", |
| 229 | + rates: rates.reduce((acc, rate) => { |
| 230 | + acc[rate.currency] = rate.value; |
| 231 | + return acc; |
| 232 | + }, {}), |
| 233 | + dates: rates.reduce((acc, rate) => { |
| 234 | + acc[rate.currency] = rate.updated_at; // ISO string from database |
| 235 | + return acc; |
| 236 | + }, {}), |
| 237 | + }; |
| 238 | +}; |
| 239 | + |
| 240 | +// Use in econify processing |
| 241 | +const result = await processEconomicData(data, { |
| 242 | + targetCurrency: "USD", |
| 243 | + targetMagnitude: "millions", |
| 244 | + fxFallback: await fetchFXRatesFromSNP(), |
| 245 | + explain: true, |
| 246 | +}); |
| 247 | +``` |
| 248 | +
