How to contribute

Just fork and create a PR! Try to match the coding style and indentation (2 spaces tabs) of the files in this repository.

To add a new converter just add add a module in lib/converters that exports an object containing units as keys and ratios as value the reference unit should have the value of 0.

Example:

module.exports = {
  "a": 1,
  "b": 2,
  "c": 3
}

This means b == 2 a and c == 3 a
