Bases and classes to support quantity, measurement, and unit conversion
Get Started
$ dotnet add package InnerDrive.QuantitativeReadme
Inner Drive Extensible Architeture
The Inner Drive Extensible Architecture implements common .NET development situations including time zones, money, measurements and conversions, and Microsoft Azure features.
InnerDrive.Quantitative
Features
- First-class structures for area, length, mass, pressure, speed, temperature, time, and volume
- Conversions between International System (SI) and English measurements
- Fully extensible for arbitrary measurment systems and units
- Comprehensive interface support to match the capabilities of system primitives
- L18n support for multiple languages
- Extension methods for fluent initialization
Prerequisites
This package runs on .NET 10. It depends on the InnerDrive.Core package.
Usage
Converting between SI and English measurements is straightforward:
var kilos = 10d.Kilograms();
var pounds = kilos.ConvertTo(typeof(Pound));
Trace.WriteLine($"{kilos.ToString()} = {pounds.ToString("0.00"}");
Output >> 10 kg = 22.05 lbs.
var mph = 100d.MilesPerHour();
var kmh = mph.KilometersPerHour();
Trace.WriteLine($"{mph.ToString()} = {kmh.ToString("0.0")}");
Output >> 100 mph = 160.9 km/hr.
var stamfordBridge = (103d * 67d).SquareMeters();
var soldierField = (360 * 160d).SquareFeet();
var difference = stamfordBridge - soldierField;
Trace.WriteLine($"The football pitch at Stamford Bridge is {difference.ToString("0,0.0")} bigger than the football field at Soldier Field");
Output >> The football pitch at Stamford Bridge is 1,549.8 m² bigger than the football field at Soldier Field
The Inner Drive Technology website has a full SDK and example code. We also have a demo weather site that uses all the IDEA components.
