A simple unite converter library

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install the package via composer:

```
composer require lase-peco/unit-converter
```

Then publish the config file `conversions.php` with the following command

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="LasePeCo\UnitConverter\ServiceProvider"
```

The config file `conversions.php` contains all units of measurement and its values.

Define your own units
---------------------

[](#define-your-own-units)

First add your unit in the config file und the matching section, then it is recommended to create a class That extends the base package class.

Example: Say you want to add `KM^2` as an `Area` unit, first add the unit in the config file:

```
'area' => [
        'mm^2' => 1000000,
        'm^2' => 1, // base unit.
        'ft^2' => 10.7639,
        'yd^2' => 1.19598888894151,
        'km^2' => 0.000001, // your new unit and its value compared to the base unit.
    ],
```

Then create `Area` class in `App\Units\` which should extends the base `Area` class of this package:

```
