PU-converter

PU-converter is an easy to use PHP unit converter library for converting S.I units to other compatible unit types. With PU-converter you can easily convert any engineering unit to its different unit types, for example, kilogram to grams, celsius to kelvin, e.t.c. Save your self the math stress and let the PU-converter library handle all conversions for you.

Coverage

PU-converter allows you to convert any unit to any other compatible unit type.

It has no external dependencies, simply include the library in your project and you're set

PU-converter can handle a wide range of unit types including:

• Length
• Area
• Volume
• Mass
• Speed
• Temperature
• Pressure
• Time
• Energy/Power
• Disk Storage
• Frequency
• Plane Angles

Installation

Using Composer

PU-converter can be insatlled using composer

composer require geniusgeeek/pu-converter

without composer

To utilize this class, first import puconverter.php into your project, and instantiate it.

include '/path/to/puconverter.php';
use  unitConverter\puconverter\PUconverter;

Guidelines: How to use

1. Create an object of the class for conversion
2. The object propeties should be initialised on object creation
3. Parameter 1 is the class for conversion, Parameter 2 is the value to be converted, Parameter 3 is the unit to convert, Parameter 4 is the unit to be converted to
4. To return the conversion call the method convert()
5. All units are to be passed in their SI units/abbreviations, example: kilogram is kg, seconds is s, e.t.c.

Documentation

Create an object for different conversion class using the syntax below

1. $temperature => new PUconverter("temperature", $value, $fromUnit, $toUnit);
2. Area => new PUconverter("area", $value, $fromUnit, $toUnit);
3. Plane Angles => new PUconverter("angle", $value, $fromUnit, $toUnit);
4. Time => new PUconverter("time", $value, $fromUnit, $toUnit);
5. Volume => new PUconverter("volume", $value, $fromUnit, $toUnit);
6. Speed => new PUconverter("speed", $value, $fromUnit, $toUnit);
7. Length => new PUconverter("length", $value, $fromUnit, $toUnit);
8. Pressure => new PUconverter("pressure", $value, $fromUnit, $toUnit);
9. Mass => new PUconverter("mass", $value, $fromUnit, $toUnit);
10. Frequency => new PUconverter("frequency", $value, $fromUnit, $toUnit);
11. Energy/Power => new PUconverter("energy", $value, $fromUnit, $toUnit);
12. Disk Storage => new PUconverter("storage", $value, $fromUnit, $toUnit);

Simple Examples

use  unitConverter\puconverter\PUconverter;
$length = new PUconverter("length", 3000, 'km', 'm');
echo $length->convert(); //this converts 3000 kilometers to its equivalent meter

//Returns 3000000 meters

use  unitConverter\puconverter\PUconverter;
$time = new PUconverter("time", 1, 'yr', 'week');
echo $time->convert(); // this converts 1 year to its equivalent time in weeks

//returns 52.143 weeks
