Converts many different distance measures.
npm install --save conversions
or
bower install --save conversions
conversions(value, fromUnit, toUnit)
var conversions = require('conversions');
conversions(1000, 'metres', 'kilometres'); // equals 1
conversions(1000, 'm', 'km'); // equals 1
It is possible to pass through other unit values for each unit, for example m|metre|metres|meter|meters or in|inch|inches
i.e allow the supply any one of m / meters / meter / metre / metres etc...
Hello, and thank you for writing this library.
I noticed that one of my meters -> miles conversion was off:
I expected 24140.16 meters to equal 15 miles, precisely. But the library was returning 14.991039. Searching online, I found that 1 meter * 0.000621371 = 1 mile. However, the library has the conversion with slightly less precision, at 0.000621, which partially explains the difference in calculation.
I understand that, even with the greater precision, there are limitations when dealing with floating point arithmetic. However, with the extra three decimal points on the conversion number, I could round the result to a more precise decimal point. Would it be possible to append the additional three decimal values to the conversion?
All this being said, maybe the places I found the more accurate conversion value are off? I'd be curious to hear your input.
On the chance you find the suggestion acceptable, created a PR with the change.
Thanks!
