README

PHP library for meteorological unit conversion.

Features

• Temperature conversion
• Wind speed conversion
• Atmospheric pressure conversion
• Precipitation conversion
• Distance conversion
• Support for strongly typed enums
• Fluent API
• Unit metadata registry
• Framework independent
• PHP 8.4+

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require soandso/units

Quick Start

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Soandso\Units\Bootstrap;

Bootstrap::init();

Supported Quantities

Retrieve metadata for a quantity:

use Soandso\Units\Registry\Quantity;
use Soandso\Units\Unit;

$temperature = Quantity::get(Unit::TEMPERATURE);

$temperature->name;
$temperature->description;
$temperature->class;

$temperature->units;

Example output:

Temperature
Air temperature units
Soandso\Units\Value\Temperature

[
    "C",
    "F",
    "K"
]

Temperature Conversion

Fluent API

use Soandso\Units\Value\Temperature;

Temperature::c(20)
    ->toF()
    ->value(); //68

Generic Conversion

use Soandso\Units\Value\Temperature;
use Soandso\Units\Enum\Temperature as TemperatureUnit;

Temperature::c(20)
    ->convertTo(TemperatureUnit::F)
    ->value(); //68

Creating Values

Values can be created using named constructors:

Temperature::c(20);
Temperature::f(68);
Temperature::k(293.15);

Working with Value Objects

$temperature = Temperature::c(20);

$temperature->value();
$temperature->unit()->value;

Available Quantities

Depending on installed version, the library may support:

• Temperature
• Pressure
• Wind Speed
• Precipitation
• Distance
• Visibility
• Humidity
• Cloud Base Height

Example:

use Soandso\Units\Enum\Unit;
use Soandso\Units\Registry\Quantity;

$quantity = Quantity::get(Unit::PRESSURE);

Registry

The registry provides metadata about all supported quantities.

use Soandso\Units\Registry\Quantity;

$all = Quantity::all();

Example

use Soandso\Units\Value\Temperature;

$celsius = Temperature::c(20);

$celsius->toF()->value(); //68
$celsius->toK()->value(); //293.15

Requirements

• PHP 8.4+
• Composer
