Fill the Currrency Field without checking

[A-Ghorab]

Dears,

During my development i found that the currency fields doesn't get filled with new instances and i have to fill the currency manually

i checked the code and it seems that it checks if the field exists in the attribute before filling which for new instances wouldn't be correct.

so i don't think we need to do the check as it's already passed as a parameter.

For anyone facing the same issue you can just initialize the currency field using attributes inside the model

class Request extends Model
{
    protected $attributes = [
        'currency' => '',
    ];
}

Hi @A-Ghorab
You can set the coin to be casted in a field or just force a coin type.

Ex:

use Cknow\Money\Casts\MoneyIntegerCast;
use Cknow\Money\Casts\MoneyStringCast;

protected $casts = [
    // cast money as integer using the defined currency
    'money' => MoneyIntegerCast::class . ':AUD',

    // cast money as string using the currency defined in the model attribute 'currency'
    'money' => MoneyStringCast::class . ':currency',
];

i'm using this method

> protected $casts = [
>     // cast money as string using the currency defined in the model attribute 'currency'
>     'money' => MoneyStringCast::class . ':currency',
> ];

but to clarify the issue this is an example of the code

$model = new Model();
$model->money = 10; 
$model->currency; //null

this is duo to the check if attribute exists or not so we to make it work i have to fill currency;

$model = new Model();
$model->currency = ''; // just a simple fill with any value
$model->money = 10; 
$model->currency; //USD

Ok running the tests i found that it might break some cases, so added a currency type check to the method so no more failing tests.

Also added one more test to verify if currency field is getting filled automatically or not.
