npx shadcn@latest add @lopifi/theme @lopifi/currency-pair-chartThe component, rendering
Real data, the shipped component. Switch the theme to check the claims the spec makes below.
The four-layer spec
Rate history with a period selector. Y-axis does not start at zero — it's a rate, not a quantity, and forcing zero destroys the resolution. This is the one sanctioned exception to the zero-baseline rule, and the axis is labeled clearly so it can't mislead.
Draws once on mount. Instant on period change.
Lifted verbatim from Swaps & FX. The doc and this page are the same paragraphs, so they cannot disagree.

The accounting it encodes
Concepts this component renders. Each one is defined once, in the lexicon, and used identically in the code and the copy.
Also in Swaps & FX
- SwapWidgetFrom/to with the flip. The signature component.
- RateLineA rate with its timestamp. Never one without the other.
- RateLockLocked rate with a countdown and expiry behavior.
- ConversionBreakdownAmount → fee → rate → recipient gets. Every line.
- RateTickerLive multi-pair ticker with value flash.
- SlippageControlTolerance setting with an explicit worst case.
- SwapRouteMulti-hop path visualization.
- FxExposurePosition by currency with unrealized gain/loss.

Told when Swaps & FX changes
Components are copied into your repo, so a fix here does not reach you on its own. One email when a component in this family changes in a way that needs a migration — and nothing when it does not.
