Measurement Converter

A simple but effective measurement converter which allows you to quickly create measurement objects that can be easily converted into other measurement formats, for example converting an Imperial measurement into Metric., _(*2)

Currently this package supports the following: 1. Metric Linears 2. Imperial Linears 3. Metric Cubic 4. Imperial Cubic 5. Weights Conversion * Tonne * US Ton * Imperial Ton, _(*3)

By creating a linear measurement unit object you immediately inherit the values of that conversion to your units counterparts. For example, by creating a 1 Inch Object you also have access to the Feet, Yard & Mile measurements off the bat, _(*4)

Supported Units

Usage Examples

Metric Example

1. create a 50 foot object, _(*5)

$feet= LinearUnitBuilder::build(new FloatType(18), new StringType('ft'));
dump($feet->getHumanReadableLong());

2. convert that into millimeters, _(*6)

$converter = new LinearUnitsConverter($feet, new StringType('mm'));

3. get the new millimeters object, _(*7)

$mm = $converter->get();
dump($mm->getHumanReadableLong());

4. convert millemeters into inches & get the inches object, _(*8)

$converter = new LinearUnitsConverter($mm, new StringType('in'));
$inch = $converter->get();
dump($inch->getHumanReadableLong());

Cubic Example

1. create a width, depth & height object and pass these into the cubic constructor, _(*9)

$width = LinearUnitBuilder::build(new FloatType(18), new StringType('m'));
$depth = LinearUnitBuilder::build(new FloatType(42), new StringType('m'));
$height = LinearUnitBuilder::build(new FloatType(3), new StringType('cm'));

$cubic = new CubicUnit($width, $depth, $height);
dump($cubic->getValue(new StringType('mm')));

Weight Example

1. to convert the cubic measurement into a weight simply pass in the SUPPORTED matrial name & cubic object, _(*10)

$tonnage = new WeightTonnageDensityConverter('soil', $cubic);

dump($cubic);
dump($tonnage->getValue());

2. you can also supply your own density measurement, which will be added to the density array as custom, _(*11)

$tonnage = new WeightTonnageDensityConverter(1.2, $cubic);

dump($cubic);
dump($tonnage->getValue());

Simple Conversion Example

1. start by creating a simple 20 foot Imperial LinearUnit object, _(*12)

$length = LinearUnitBuilder::build(new FloatType(20), new StringType('ft'));

2. then convert this into a cm Metric LinearUnit object, _(*13)

$length = LinearUnitBuilder::build(
                    new FloatType((new Conversion($l))->into(
                        new StringType('cm')
                    )),
                    new StringType(
                        'cm'
                    ));
