CLI for linear-converter

Install

npm i -g linear-converter-cli

Usage

$ 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
