CLI for linear-converter
npm i -g linear-converter-cli
$ linear-converter 25 --from metres --to yards
27.34033245844269466325
$ lco 25 -f m -t yd
27.34033245844269466325
The program will try to infer the --property (-p) option if not present,
but it must be declared in cases with ambiguity.
$ linear-converter 25 -f °C -t °F
Ambiguous units: temperature, temperatureDifference.
$ linear-converter 25 -p temperature -f °C -t °F
77
$ linear-converter 25 -p temperatureDifference -f °C -t °F
45
Negative values can be declared using the --negative (-n) flag, or piped in.
$ linear-converter -n 76 -p temperature --from fahrenheit --to celsius
-60
$ echo -76 | linear-converter -p temperature --from fahrenheit --to celsius
-60
A final example to overcome the lack of some units (yards to hectometres):
$ lco 34500 -f yards -t metres | lco -f none -t hecto
315.468
Usage: linear-converter <number> [options]
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-n, --negative treat <number> as negative
-p, --property [property] property to convert
-f, --from [unit] unit to convert from (required)
-t, --to [unit] unit to convert to (required)
-d, --precision [precision] precision, amount of decimal places to work with
-v, --verbose show detailed output
Examples
$ linear-converter 25 --from metres --to yards
$ lco -n 100 -p temperature -f fahrenheit -t celsius
$ lco 34500 -f yards -t metres | lco -f none -t hecto
