lum.units.php
=============

[](#lumunitsphp)

Summary
-------

[](#summary)

Classes representing different units of measurement, with the ability to convert between them.

The configuration file format is a bit weird, but it's that way for historical reasons. I'll probably make it support a nicer format at some point, while keeping a compatibility wrapper for the original version.

Classes
-------

[](#classes)

ClassDescriptionLum\\Units\\UnitsThe main Units library.Lum\\Units\\ExceptionSomething went wrong.Lum\\Units\\HasUnitsA trait for classes with units.Lum\\Units\\TypeClassA container representing a class of units.Lum\\Units\\ItemAn individual unit.Examples
--------

[](#examples)

See `examples` for a sample data file, and a script to convert between the units defined in it. You can only convert between units of the same type class. So for instance:

```
php example/convert.php 10 ha ac
# 24.710516301528

php example/convert.php 5 min sec
# 300

php example/convert.php 1.5 b mb
# 1572864

php example/convert.php 10 ha mb
# PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Lum\Units\Exception...

```

TODO
----

[](#todo)

- Write tests.
- Add new configuration format that is somewhat nicer.
- Add some kind of formatting feature using the 'sign'.
