measurements

A package providing basic classes for working with measurements such as Length and Mass. All provided classes provide the means to perform conversions, calculations and comparisons using objects.

Available Measurements

The available classes as well as those that will hopefully be implemented soon are listed below.

• Length
• Mass
• Area
• DataTransferRate
• DigitalStorage
• Energy
• Frequency
• Pressure
• Speed
• Temperature
• Volume

Example

Conversions:

import 'package:measurements/measurements.dart';

void main(List<String> arguments) async {
  Length heightOfEverest = Length.fromMetres(8848.0);
  print("Height of Everest (in metres): ${heightOfEverest.inMetres}.");
  print("Height of Everest (in kilometres): ${heightOfEverest.inKilometres}.");
  print("Height of Everest (in yards): ${heightOfEverest.inYards}.");
  print("Height of Everest (in miles): ${heightOfEverest.inMiles}.");
}

Calculations:

import 'package:measurements/measurements.dart';

void main(List<String> arguments) async {
  Area a = Area.fromAcres(87.0);
  Area b = Area.fromAcres(43.0);
  print("a + b is ${(a + b).inAcres} centimetres");
  print("a - b is ${(a - b).inAcres} centimetres.");
  print("a * 4 is ${(a * 4).inAcres} centimetres.");
  print("a / 4 is ${(a / 4).inAcres} centimetres.");
}

Comparisons:

import 'package:measurements/measurements.dart';

void main(List<String> arguments) async {
  Mass elephantWeight = Mass.fromKilograms(5400);
  Mass zebraWeight = Mass.fromKilograms(380);
  if (elephantWeight == zebraWeight) {
    print("An elephant and a Zebra have the same weight.");
  } else if (zebraWeight < elephantWeight) {
    Mass difference = elephantWeight - zebraWeight;
    print("An elephant is ${difference.inPounds} pounds heavier than a zebra.");
  } else {
    Mass difference = zebraWeight - elephantWeight;
    print("A Zebra is ${difference.inPounds} pounds heavier than an elephant.");
  }
}
