Ruby Units

Posted by tom January 6th, 2008

While we’re at it here’s also a little info about the brilliant gem “ruby-units”, which takes away all the nasty conversion from you.

It can be easily installed using the known: 

gem install ruby-units

Here’s some sample code: 

require 'rubygems'
gem 'ruby-units'
require 'ruby-units'

c = Unit.new("100cm") >> "ft" 
puts c.scalar
k = Unit.new("100","kg") >> "lbs" 
puts k.scalar
