Overview

The Data Storage converter supports conversions between decimal (SI) and binary (IEC) data units, covering everything from bits to exabytes and exbibytes.

​
Import

import { DataUnitConverter, DATA_UNIT } from 'univerto/data'

​
Available Units

The DATA_UNIT constant provides the following units: Decimal (SI) Units:
  • BIT - Bit
  • BYTE - Byte (8 bits)
  • KILOBYTE - Kilobyte (1000 bytes)
  • MEGABYTE - Megabyte (1000 KB)
  • GIGABYTE - Gigabyte (1000 MB)
  • TERABYTE - Terabyte (1000 GB)
  • PETABYTE - Petabyte (1000 TB)
  • EXABYTE - Exabyte (1000 PB)
Binary (IEC) Units:
  • KIBIBYTE - Kibibyte (1024 bytes)
  • MEBIBYTE - Mebibyte (1024 KiB)
  • GIBIBYTE - Gibibyte (1024 MiB)
  • TEBIBYTE - Tebibyte (1024 GiB)
  • PEBIBYTE - Pebibyte (1024 TiB)
  • EXBIBYTE - Exbibyte (1024 PiB)

​
Usage

import { DataUnitConverter, DATA_UNIT } from 'univerto/data'

// Convert 1 GB to MB
const megabytes = DataUnitConverter.from(1, DATA_UNIT.GIGABYTE)
  .to(DATA_UNIT.MEGABYTE)
  .convert()

console.log(megabytes) // 1000

​
Common Conversions

​
File Sizes

// Megabytes to gigabytes (file size)
const fileSize = DataUnitConverter.from(2500, DATA_UNIT.MEGABYTE)
  .to(DATA_UNIT.GIGABYTE)
  .convert() // 2.5

// Gigabytes to megabytes
const videoSize = DataUnitConverter.from(4.7, DATA_UNIT.GIGABYTE)
  .to(DATA_UNIT.MEGABYTE)
  .convert() // 4700

// Bytes to kilobytes
const smallFile = DataUnitConverter.from(5000, DATA_UNIT.BYTE)
  .to(DATA_UNIT.KILOBYTE)
  .convert() // 5

​
Storage Capacity

// Terabytes to gigabytes (hard drive)
const hddSize = DataUnitConverter.from(2, DATA_UNIT.TERABYTE)
  .to(DATA_UNIT.GIGABYTE)
  .convert() // 2000

// Gigabytes to terabytes (SSD)
const ssdSize = DataUnitConverter.from(512, DATA_UNIT.GIGABYTE)
  .to(DATA_UNIT.TERABYTE)
  .convert() // 0.512

​
Binary vs Decimal Units

// Gigabyte (decimal) to Gibibyte (binary)
const gbToGib = DataUnitConverter.from(100, DATA_UNIT.GIGABYTE)
  .to(DATA_UNIT.GIBIBYTE)
  .convert() // 93.132

// Gibibyte to Gigabyte
const gibToGb = DataUnitConverter.from(100, DATA_UNIT.GIBIBYTE)
  .to(DATA_UNIT.GIGABYTE)
  .convert() // 107.374

// Mebibyte to Megabyte
const mibToMb = DataUnitConverter.from(256, DATA_UNIT.MEBIBYTE)
  .to(DATA_UNIT.MEGABYTE)
  .convert() // 268.435

​
Network & Transfer Rates

// Bits to bytes (download size)
const downloadBytes = DataUnitConverter.from(8000000, DATA_UNIT.BIT)
  .to(DATA_UNIT.BYTE)
  .convert() // 1000000

// Megabytes to megabits (bandwidth)
const bandwidth = DataUnitConverter.from(100, DATA_UNIT.MEGABYTE)
  .to(DATA_UNIT.BIT)
  .convert() // 800000000
