## Description

**Data is fetched in real time from the public mindicador.cl API** — a free service
that exposes official economic indicators for Chile (sourced from the Central Bank
and other entities). No registration or API key is required.

HUP – Indicadores Económicos (Chile) queries the mindicador.cl API automatically
and outputs the values through the `[hupind_indicadores]` shortcode, ready to use
in headers, footers, sidebars, Bricks Builder, Elementor and any area of your site.

This project is independent and is not affiliated with any government entity. Data
is obtained from the public mindicador.cl API (https://mindicador.cl). The plugin
only receives data; it never sends any information to the service.

**Main features:**

 * Real-time data from the public mindicador.cl API (no registration or API key)
 * 12 indicators: UF, UTM, Dollar, Euro, IPC, IVP, IMACEC, TPM, Copper Pound, Unemployment
   Rate, Bitcoin and Exchange Dollar
 * `[hupind_indicadores]` shortcode with multiple configurable parameters
 * Admin screen under **Tools** — indicator selection and shortcode builder on a
   single page
 * Automatic format per indicator type: `$` (CLP), `US$` (USD) or `%` (percentage)
 * Change versus the previous day: `%` for prices/currencies, percentage points (`
   pp`) for rates and indices
 * ▲ green / ▼ red arrows for positive/negative change
 * Horizontal or vertical layout, configurable separator
 * Date format selector (short, long, numeric)
 * Chilean number format (comma decimal, period thousands separator)
 * Configurable cache with WordPress Transients (1h / 6h / 12h / 24h)
 * Automatic fallback to the last successful value if the mindicador.cl API is unavailable
 * No CSS on the frontend — style it with BEM classes from Bricks or Elementor
 * No WooCommerce or external plugin dependencies

**Example shortcode:**

    ```
    [hupind_indicadores show="uf,dolar,euro" layout="horizontal" show_variation="true" show_date="true"]
    ```

**BEM classes available for styling:**

 * `.hupind-indicadores` — main wrapper
 * `.hupind-indicadores__item` — each indicator
 * `.hupind-indicadores__item--{id}` — per-indicator modifier (–uf, –dolar, etc.)
 * `.hupind-indicadores__label` — indicator name
 * `.hupind-indicadores__value` — formatted value
 * `.hupind-indicadores__variation` — change (with –up / –down modifiers)
 * `.hupind-indicadores__divider` — separator between items
 * `.hupind-indicadores__updated` — update date
 * `.hupind-indicadores--error` / `.hupind-indicadores__error` — notice shown when
   no data is available yet

### External services

This plugin connects to the public mindicador.cl API to retrieve the current values
of Chilean economic indicators.

 * Service: mindicador.cl — https://mindicador.cl
 * What is sent: nothing. The plugin only performs read (GET) requests to retrieve
   indicator values; no personal or site data is transmitted.
 * When: when the shortcode is rendered and the cache has expired (cache duration
   is configurable, default 1 hour).
 * Terms / privacy: https://mindicador.cl

## Installation

 1. Upload the `hup-indicadores-economicos-chile` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/`
    directory.
 2. Activate the plugin from the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Tools  HUP Indicadores** in the WordPress admin.
 4. Enable the indicators you want to show and adjust the decimals.
 5. Copy the automatically generated shortcode and paste it wherever you need it.

## FAQ

### Do I need WooCommerce or another plugin to use this?

No. The plugin is fully independent. It works without WooCommerce or any other external
plugin.

### Is the data in real time?

Data is fetched from the public mindicador.cl API. The refresh frequency depends
on the configured cache duration (1 hour by default). Indicators such as the UF 
are updated daily.

### Can I style the shortcode?

Yes. The plugin does not load any CSS on the frontend on purpose. Use the BEM classes
documented in the “CSS classes” accordion of the admin screen to apply your styles
from Bricks Builder, Elementor or your own stylesheet. The change colors (green/
red) can be changed by defining the CSS variables `--hupind-color-up` and `--hupind-
color-down` on `.hupind-indicadores`.

### What happens if the mindicador.cl API does not respond?

The plugin keeps a permanent fallback transient with the last successful value. 
Once at least one request has succeeded, that value is served automatically if the
API later fails, so the frontend never goes blank. Only on a brand-new install, 
before the first successful request and while the API is unreachable, is there no
value to show; in that case the shortcode outputs a short notice that you can customize
with the `error_text` attribute (set `error_text=""` to output nothing).

### Can I show only some indicators?

Yes, in two ways: enabling/disabling them from the admin screen, or using the `show`
parameter directly in the shortcode: `[hupind_indicadores show="uf,dolar,euro"]`.

### How many decimals are shown?

Configurable per indicator from the admin screen (0 to 4 decimals).
