# Right-click Currency Conversion
{% hint style="info" %}
🍎 Before you begin this tutorial, make sure you've completed the [Developer Quick Start Guide](https://docs.pixiebrix.com/quick-start/mod-developer).
{% endhint %}
This tutorial will use the PixieBrix Context Menu to convert currency for any amount we highlight. We'll use this [Thrillist](https://www.thrillist.com/news/nation/worlds-most-expensive-burger-robbert-jan-de-veen) article to develop our mod.
If you get stuck, you can [install a prebuilt version of this mod from the marketplace](https://www.pixiebrix.com/marketplace/c65afa44-298f-4340-8c47-4da5ebff44ce/currency-conversion-tutorial/).
### 1. Context Menu
#### Open the Page Editor
Start by navigating your browser to [Thrillist](https://www.thrillist.com/news/nation/worlds-most-expensive-burger-robbert-jan-de-veen). Then, open the PixieBrix Page Editor.
{% hint style="info" %}

{% endhint %}
#### Grant Access
The first time you open the Page Editor on a new webpage, you need to grant PixieBrix access to the page. You can grant permanent access by either:
* Clicking **Grant Permanent Access**, or
* Granting temporary access by clicking on the PixieBrix extension in the Chrome Extensions dropdown and then refreshing the page\
{% hint style="warning" %}
🚨 If you had the Page Editor open before navigating to the Thrillist page, you'll need to close it by clicking the X in the top right corner and re-open it to provide access.
{% endhint %}
#### Add a Context Menu
* Click **New Mod** in the top left of the Page Editor and choose **Context Menu.**
* In the Title field, replace "Context Menu Item" with "Convert: %s"
{% hint style="info" %}
💡 The "%s" portion will configure the caption to change dynamically based on your highlighted text. Note this convention is different than the mustache braces {{ used in other places in PixieBrix. It's because Chrome fills in the selected text (not PixieBrix) for the context menu item.
{% endhint %}
* To test your context menu configuration:
1. Highlight $5,964 on the webpage
2. Right-click to expand the context menu. It should look like this
#### Configure Where the Context Menu Appears
* In the Sites field, click **All URLs**. This tells PixieBrix to show the context menu item on any webpage you visit
* Scroll down to the **Advanced Configuration**. In the Advanced Permission section, click **All URLs**. This gives PixieBrix access to a page without you first clicking the context menu
### 2. Add the Convert Currency brick
* We'll first need to add the Convert Currency brick. Click the "Add Button"
* In the Brick Selection modal, search "Convert currency" and click **+ Add.**
* As mentioned at the beginning of this tutorial, we'll use the PixieBrix Right-Click Menu to perform currency conversion on any amount we highlight. We can represent our highlighted text as `@input.selectionText`
* We'll input the variable `@input.selectionText` in the Amount input field
### 3. Add the Window Alert brick
* Now that we've added the Convert Currency brick, we'll add the Window Alert brick to display the converted value as an alert. Click the **+** icon.
* In the Brick Selection modal, search "Window Alert" and click **+ Add.**
* We can represent the output of our Convert Currency brick as the following variable `@transformed2.value`
* We'll input the variable `@transformed2.value` in the Message input field
* Let’s also change the Duration to 5000 milliseconds so
### 5. Test Your Currency Conversion Action
* To test your mod, highlight $5,964 and, right-click on the page, select the context menu “Convert...”
* You’ll see a form appear allowing you to select which currency it’s converting from and to, then click **Submit.**
* After submitting, you’ll see a pop-up with the converted amount.
