parse(text: string): Unit

This will return the a unit for the given text. For example, "m/s" will return the unit for velocity in meters per second.

instance

abbreviation: string

Contains the abbreviation of the Unit. For example, "s" for "second", "g" for "gram", ...

baseAdditive: number

What to add to this unit in order to reach the normal for the given type. For example, the baseAdditive for "celsius" is 273.15.

baseMultiplier: number

What to multiply this unit by to reach the normal for the given type. For eaxmple, the normal for the "length" type is the "meter". Therefore, if this unit was the "centimeter", the baseMultiplier would be 0.01 since 1 centimeter is 1/100th of a meter.

factor: UnitFactor

The UnitFactor for this Unit. For example, the factor for the "kilogram" is "kilo".

formula: string

Contains the formula of this Unit if it is a derived type. For example, the "newton" is "m¹kg¹/s²", or 1 degree of meter, 1 degree of kilogram, and -2 degrees of second.

name: string

Contains the name of the Unit. For example, "gram", "second", ...

sid: string

This is a unique id like _id, used when integers cannot be used.

sid stands for "string ID".

system: UnitSystem

The UnitSystem for this Unit, i.e. "metric, "english", "planck", ...

type: UnitType

The UnitType for this Unit. For example, the type for the "newton" is "force".
