Kuolintoive-unit NPM

unit-convert

A simple SI unit conversion library.

Installation

npm i kuolintoive-unit

Usage

Simple Unit Conversion

This example converts 10 feet to yards.

import { convertSimpleUnits } from 'kuolintoive-units';
var conversion = convertSimpleUnits('ft', 'yard', 10);

Complex Unit Conversion

This example converts 10 gigabits to megabytes.

Note that the key must match a unit name from the Units (by Dimension) section of this read me.
Note that they prefix must match a prefix alias from the Prefixes section of this read me.

import { convertComplexUnits } from 'kuolintoive-units';
var conversion = convertComplexUnits(
    { key: 'bit', prefix: 'giga' },
    { key: 'bytes', prefix: 'mega' },
    10
);

Simple Unit Rate Conversion

This example converts 10 feet/second to yards/minute.

import { convertSimpleUnitRate } from 'kuolintoive-units';
let rate = convertSimpleUnitRate(
	{ baseUnit: 'ft', rateUnit: 's' },
	{ baseUnit: 'yd', rateUnit: 'm' },
	10
);
