​
Overview

The Length converter supports conversions between metric and imperial length units, from the smallest nanometer to the largest league measurement.

​
Import

import { LengthUnitConverter, LENGTH_UNIT } from 'univerto/length'

​
Available Units

The LENGTH_UNIT constant provides the following units: Metric Units:
  • NANOMETER - Nanometer
  • MICROMETER - Micrometer
  • MILLIMETER - Millimeter
  • CENTIMETER - Centimeter
  • METER - Meter
  • KILOMETER - Kilometer
Imperial/US Units:
  • INCH - Inch
  • HAND - Hand (4 inches)
  • FOOT - Foot
  • YARD - Yard
  • CHAIN - Chain
  • FURLONG - Furlong
  • MILE - Mile
  • LEAGUE - League

​
Usage

import { LengthUnitConverter, LENGTH_UNIT } from 'univerto/length'

// Convert 5 kilometers to miles
const miles = LengthUnitConverter.from(5, LENGTH_UNIT.KILOMETER)
  .to(LENGTH_UNIT.MILE)
  .convert()

console.log(miles) // 3.106855...

​
Common Conversions

​
Metric Conversions

// Centimeters to meters
const meters = LengthUnitConverter.from(150, LENGTH_UNIT.CENTIMETER)
  .to(LENGTH_UNIT.METER)
  .convert() // 1.5

// Millimeters to kilometers
const km = LengthUnitConverter.from(1_000_000, LENGTH_UNIT.MILLIMETER)
  .to(LENGTH_UNIT.KILOMETER)
  .convert() // 1

​
Imperial Conversions

// Inches to feet
const feet = LengthUnitConverter.from(36, LENGTH_UNIT.INCH)
  .to(LENGTH_UNIT.FOOT)
  .convert() // 3

// Yards to miles
const miles = LengthUnitConverter.from(1760, LENGTH_UNIT.YARD)
  .to(LENGTH_UNIT.MILE)
  .convert() // 1

​
Cross-System Conversions

// Feet to meters (height)
const heightInMeters = LengthUnitConverter.from(6, LENGTH_UNIT.FOOT)
  .to(LENGTH_UNIT.METER)
  .convert() // 1.8288

// Kilometers to miles (distance)
const distanceInMiles = LengthUnitConverter.from(42.195, LENGTH_UNIT.KILOMETER)
  .to(LENGTH_UNIT.MILE)
  .convert() // 26.219 (marathon distance)
