FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package php-unit-conversion
Php Unit Conversion
The php-unit-conversion/php-unit-conversion package provides full PSR-4 compatible unit conversion. Most other packages that are available for unit conversion are using string types to indicate unit types. In this package all unit types are classes.
We still need to add a lot more units and tests to make the package more usefull. If you want to help me with that, please check Contributing!
Basic Usage
Unit Conversions
Find the nearest unit type
If you have a value and want to automatically convert it to the unit type which value is closest to 1, you can use the static nearest method.
The nearest method should only be called on a Unit Type class.
If you only want units from a specific measurement system, you can pass a System class name as second parameter
Storing values with their type
If you want to store values in e.g. a database, you often have to store two things: the value itself and the unit type. As all our Units have a TYPE constant defined, we can use this to add the type information to the value before storing it in the database. To retrieve this unit value you can invoke the class instance itself.
The returned value is the result of first converting the value to the base value, then a shift left by 6 and add the TYPE constant.
You can use the static from method to convert to a base unit instance again:
