unitized

A Flowtype-safe API for handling numbers with associated units

Examples

import { UnitizedNumber, Length, Angle } from 'unitized'
 
new UnitizedNumber(2, Length.feet)
  .add(new UnitizedNumber(3, Length.meters))
  .toString()
// '11.842519685039369 ft'
 
// More convenient construction:
Length.feet
  .of(2)
  .add(Length.meters.of(3))
  .toString()
// '11.842519685039369 ft'
 
Length.feet
  .of(1)
  .in(Length.meters)
  .toString()
// '0.3048 m'
 
Length.feet.of(1).get(Length.meters)
// 0.3048

API

UnitizedNumber

import { UnitizedNumber } from 'unitized'

Represents a number and a unit. The type parameters guard against operations on unrelated units (e.g. 1 meter + 5 degrees) by causing Flow errors.

new UnitizedNumber<T: UnitType>(value: number, unit: Unit<T>)

Example: const twoMeters: UnitizedNumber<Length> = new UnitizedNumber(2, Length.meters)

add(addend: UnitizedNumber<T>): UnitizedNumber<T>

Returns a new UnitizedNumber equal to this plus addend, in this number's units.

sub(addend: UnitizedNumber<T>): UnitizedNumber<T>

Returns a new UnitizedNumber equal to this minus addend, in this number's units.

mul(multiplicand: number): UnitizedNumber<T>

Returns a new UnitizedNumber equal to this times multiplicand, in this number's units.

For example, 1 meter * 6 = 6 meters.

mod(modulus: UnitizedNumber<T>): UnitizedNumber<T>

Returns the remainder after dividing this number by modulus, in this number's units.

For example, 345 centimeters % 2 meters = 145 centimeters.

div(denominator: number): UnitizedNumber<T>

Returns a new UnitizedNumber equal to this divided by denominator, in this number's units.

For example, 1 meter / 5 = 0.2 meters.

divAwayUnit(denominator: UnitizedNumber<T>): number

Returns a this divided by denominator, a unitless quantity.

For example, 1 meter / 50 centimeters = 2.

isFinite(): boolean

Returns true iff the value (regardless of units) is not NaN or infinite.

isPositive(): boolean

Returns true iff the value is positive.

isNegative(): boolean

Returns true iff the value is negative.

isZero(): boolean

Returns true iff the value is zero.

isNonzero(): boolean

Returns true iff the value is not zero.

negate(): UnitizedNumber<T>

Returns a UnitizedNumber that has the negative value in the same units.

abs(): UnitizedNumber<T>

Returns a non-negative UnitizedNumber that has the same magnitude in the same units.

compareTo(other: UnitizedNumber<T>): number

Returns > 0 if this > other, < 0 if this < other, and 0 otherwise.

Length

The type for units of length.

static meters: Unit<Length>

static centimeters: Unit<Length>

static kilometers: Unit<Length>

static feet: Unit<Length>

static yards: Unit<Length>

static inches: Unit<Length>

static miles: Unit<Length>

Area

The type for units of area.

static squareMeters: Unit<Area>

static squareCentimeters: Unit<Area>

static squareKilometers: Unit<Area>

static squareFeet: Unit<Area>

static squareYards: Unit<Area>

static squareInches: Unit<Area>

static squareMiles: Unit<Area>

static squares: Map<Unit<Length>, Unit<Area>>

E.g. Area.squares.get(Length.meters) === Area.squareMeters

static mul(a: UnitizedNumber<Length>, b: UnitizedNumber<Length>): UnitizedNumber<Area>

Multiplies two lengths together and returns the result as an area.

static square(a: UnitizedNumber<Length>): UnitizedNumber<Area>

Squares a length and returns the result as an area.

static sqrt(a: UnitizedNumber<Area>): UnitizedNumber<Length>

Takes the square root of an area and returns the result as a length.

static div(a: UnitizedNumber<Area>, b: UnitizedNumber<Length>): UnitizedNumber<Length>

Divides an area by a length, return the result as a length.

Angle

The type for units of angle.

static degrees: Unit<Angle>

1/360 of a unit circle

static radians: Unit<Angle>

Arclength on a unit circle

static gradians: Unit<Angle>

1/400 of a unit circle

static mils: Unit<Angle>

NATO mils (1/6400 of a unit circle)

static percentGrade: Unit<Angle>

The ratio of the rise over the run expressed as a percent. 100% = 45 degrees.
