Quantity Framework ↑

This is a simple framework allowing one to perform basic quantity math and conversions.

Basic usage: ↑

calc = Quantity::calc
qty = calc.quantity(45, :cm)
mm = calc.exp(:mm) {qty}
cm = calc.exp(:cm){2.m - 20.cm}
m = calc.exp(:m) {25.cm + 15.8.mm + 10.m}

Something a bit more interesting: ↑

calc.exp(1.L / 1.km) {33.mi / 1.gal}.value

Look at lib/config/default.rb for full list of conversions and units supported by default. You can also add new units and new conversions to “global” config via Quantity::configure :

Quantity::configure do |config|
 config.unit :unit => :new_unit
 .....
end

or do the same on a given calculator level:

calc.add_unit :unit => :new_unit
