dimensions-parser

What is this module?

A module to parse dimension strings into a format you can work with.

String formats include;

    'L 10.1 x W 7.1 x H 5 inches'

    '84.5cm(H) 55.3cm(W) 57.4cm(D)'

    'L 1 x W 1 x H 1 inches'

    '850 x 595 x 565 mm (H x W x D)'

    'H143, W55, D58cm'

How to use

var dimensionParser = require('dimension-parser');

var dimension = '84.5cm(H) 55.3cm(W) 57.4cm(D)'

var dimensions = dimensionsParser.parse(dimension);

assert.equal(dimensions, {
    height: {
        type: 'height', units: 'cm', amount: 84.5
    },
    width: {
        type: 'width', units: 'cm', amount: 55.3
    },
    depth: {
        type: 'depth', units: 'cm', amount: 57.4
    }
});

TODO

• [ ] Allow conversion to any format (Currently kicks out cm only)
• [ ] Add support for 2D dimensions
