The unitsnet-go package provides an efficient way to store unit variables and perform easy conversions to different units when it's required.
It offers support for more than 100 unit types across various unit categories, including pretty-printing, comparison, and arithmetic methods.
The API is designed to be user-friendly and straightforward to use.
The library is built on top of the Units.NET project and leverages their definitions sources to generate the Golang units.
The unitsnet-go package does not require any external dependencies or packages to function.go get github.com/haimkastner/unitsnet-go
package main import ( "log" "github.com/haimkastner/unitsnet-go/units" ) func main() { // Create a factory instance af := units.AngleFactory{} var angle *units.Angle angle, _ = units.AngleFactory{}.FromDegrees(180) // equals to angle, _ = af.CreateAngle(180, units.AngleDegree) log.Println(angle.Radians()) // 3.141592653589793 log.Println(angle.Microradians()) // 3141592.65358979 log.Println(angle.Gradians()) // 200 log.Println(angle.Microdegrees()) // 180000000 // As an alternative, a convert style method are also available log.Println(angle.Convert(units.AngleRadian)) // 3.141592653589793 log.Println(angle.Convert(units.AngleMicroradian)) // 3141592.65358979 log.Println(angle.Convert(units.AngleGradian)) // 200 log.Println(angle.Convert(units.AngleMicrodegree)) // 180000000 // Print the default unit to_string (The default for angle is degrees) log.Println(angle) // 180.00 ° // Specify unit and fraction digits max length log.Println(angle.ToString(units.AngleDegree, 0)) // 180 ° log.Println(angle.ToString(units.AngleRadian, 3)) // 3.141 rad }
Check, compare, calculate etc. with unitsnet:
lf := units.LengthFactory{} length1, _ := lf.FromMeters(10) length2, _ := lf.FromDecimeters(100) length3, _ := lf.FromMeters(3) // 'Equals' method log.Println(length1.Equals(length2)) // true log.Println(length1.Equals(length3)) // false // 'CompareTo' method log.Println(length1.CompareTo(length3)) // 1; log.Println(length3.CompareTo(length1)) // -1; log.Println(length2.CompareTo(length1)) // 0; // Arithmetics methods results1 := length1.Add(length3) results2 := length1.Subtract(length3) results3 := length1.Multiply(length3) results4 := length1.Divide(length3) log.Println(results1) // 13.00 m log.Println(results2) // 7.00 m log.Println(results3) // 30.00 m log.Println(results4) // 3.33 mDTO - Data Transfer Object
As UnitsNet provides a convenient way to work within a running service, there are occasions where the data needs to be exposed outside of the service, typically through an API containing the unit value or consumed from an API.
To support this with a clear API schema and make it easy to convert to and from this schema to the specific format, it's recommended to use DTOs and the UnitsNet flavor converters.
lf := units.LengthFactory{} length, _ := lf.FromMeters(100.01) // Obtain the DTO object as json, represented by the default unit - meter lengthDtoJson, _ := length.ToDtoJSON(nil) log.Println(string(lengthDtoJson)) // {"value":100.01,"unit":"Meter"} // Obtain the same value but represent DTO in KM lengthKilometer := units.LengthKilometer // Default value lengthDtoRepresentsInKmJson, _ := length.ToDtoJSON(&lengthKilometer) log.Println(string(lengthDtoRepresentsInKmJson)) // {"value":0.10001,"unit":"Kilometer"} // Load JSON to DTO, and load lengthFromMetersDto, _ := lf.FromDtoJSON(lengthDtoJson) log.Println(lengthFromMetersDto) // 100.01 m // The exact same value as lengthFromKmDto, _ := lf.FromDtoJSON(lengthDtoRepresentsInKmJson) log.Println(lengthFromKmDto) // 100.01 m // Additionally, it supports creating and handling as a DTO instance, as well as creating and converting to/from JSON. // Get a DTO instance from a Length instance lengthDto := length.ToDto(nil) // Get the json representation of the DTO lengthJson, _ := lengthDto.ToJSON() // {"value":100.01,"unit":"Meter"} // Obtain DTO instance from a json representation lengthDtoFromJson, _ := units.LengthDtoFactory{}.FromJSON(lengthJson) // Obtain Length unit from a DTO instance lengthFromJson, _ := lf.FromDto(*lengthDtoFromJson) log.Println(lengthFromJson) // 100.01 m
