Once you have installed the Unit Converter library, converting from one unit of measurement to another is really simple.
First, create a new instance of the desired type and import the related class. The instance needs to accept two parameters - 1) a boolean for the quantity, and 2) a string for the unit of measurement.
Next, all you need is to call a method and pass in the parameter for the convertion.
Example conversion:
Alternatively, you can convert using the unit abbreviation as a parameter:
The method has also an optional parameter tor defining how many decimal units should be displayed for the given convertion.
Support
Currently, the Unit Converter supports the following types:
- Mass
- Length
- Pressure
- Area - New
Configuration
During instantiation or convertion, you have two options for defining the unit to be used.
There is a longform and a short-hand word available for each unit of measure.
