Unit of Measures in PHP
=======================

[](#unit-of-measures-in-php)

A library for Unit of Measurements written in PHP.

Installation:

```
composer require codingmatters/unit-of-measures
```

### Units for Mass

[](#units-for-mass)

Using `Weight::class` in measuring the mass. Following are practical usage for the weight object.

```
use CodingMatters\UoM\Weight;

$weightInGrams = Weight::inGrams(1000);
$weightInPounds = Weight::inPounds(250);
$weightInOunce = Weight::inOunch(350);
```

#### Weight In Grams

[](#weight-in-grams)

```
use CodingMatters\UoM\Weight;

$weight = Weight::inGrams(1000); // will return string "1000 g"
$weight->unit(); // will return g
$weight->value(); // will return 1000

/**
 * Available conversion method:
 */
$weightInKilos = $weight->toKilo(); // will return string as "1 kg"
$weightInPounds = $weight->toPounds(); // will return string as ""

// you can still use the unit() and value() methods after conversion
$weightInKilos->unit(); // will return kg
$weightInKilos->value(); // will return 1
```
