Product Decisions This Supports

Feature scoping: Enables a currency input/display field within Statamic-powered content models (e.g., product prices, pricing tables, donation tiers, financial disclosures) without building a custom fieldtype from scratch.
Build vs. buy: Replaces a small but non-trivial custom UI component (currency masking, formatting, validation) with a maintained package, freeing engineering time for core differentiators.
Roadmap sequencing: A v1.0.1 maintenance release (dependency bump to Testbench ^11.2, CI workflow reuse, docs fixes) signals the package is tracking Laravel 11 compatibility and has active dependency hygiene — low integration risk for teams already on modern Laravel/Statamic stacks.
Use-case fit: Best for simple, single-currency authoring needs; not a fit for multi-currency conversion, dynamic pricing, or checkout logic, which should remain in application/business-logic layers.

When to Consider This Package

You are building on Statamic (the “fieldtype” naming and Testbench dependency strongly indicate a Statamic addon) and need a straightforward currency field for content editors.
Your team wants a low-maintenance, composer-installable fieldtype rather than maintaining custom Vue/CP components for currency input.
You are on Laravel 11 / Statamic 5 (or an environment compatible with Testbench ^11.2), and you value CI-backed releases and Dependabot maintenance.
Look elsewhere if you need multi-currency exchange rates, locale-aware formatting beyond basic input, complex tax/pricing rules, or a full e-commerce/payment stack. Also avoid if you are not on Statamic or need a fieldtype with active feature development — v1.0.1 contains no new features, only maintenance and documentation changes.

Executives: “A small, low-risk add-on that saves us from building and maintaining a custom currency input field. The latest patch is maintenance-only — dependency updates and CI cleanup — so it doesn’t change scope or add risk.”
Engineering: “It’s a Statamic fieldtype with a clean v1.0.1 maintenance release: Testbench bumped to ^11.2 for Laravel 11 alignment, reusable CI workflows, and docs fixes. No breaking changes. Easy to evaluate in a spike and low cost to remove if needed.”
Product/Design: “Gives editors a consistent currency input experience in the CMS, reducing formatting bugs and custom admin UI work. We should validate it against our specific currency/locale requirements before committing.”
