Offers libraries to handle complex data type conversions, including digital data transfer rates, storage units, percentage formats, and temperature scales, enhancing code readability and efficiency.
A collection of Kotlin Multiplatform libraries to represent complex data types.
Check out the docs for details!
Bitrate for reading from and converting to units of digital data transfer, for example Mebibits per second to Gibibits per second.
Capacity for reading from and converting to digital storage types, for example Megabytes to Gigabytes.
Percentage for reading from and converting to the most common percentage formats, for example 1.0f to 100.
Temperature for reading from and converting to Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, Rankine and Réaumur.
kotlin {
sourceSets {
commonMain.dependencies {
val datatypesVersion = "1.1.0"
// Add dependency on Bitrate
implementation("io.github.boswelja.datatypes:bitrate:$datatypesVersion")
// Add dependency on Capacity
implementation("io.github.boswelja.datatypes:capacity:$datatypesVersion")
// Add dependency on Percentage
implementation()
implementation()
}
}
}
All libraries currently support Android, iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, JVM, Linux, Windows and WASM-JS. For now, they are only accessible from Kotlin Multiplatform projects. We are exploring publishing native libraries for use directly in other languages.
I was tired of having to write functions that convert between units, like hours to seconds
(5 / 60.0 / 60.0). After a bit of looking around, I found out Kotlin had a built-in Duration
that could handle time conversions! 5.hours.inWholeSeconds is much more readable.
After discovering Duration, I thought "well why not do the same for units of digital storage".
And then I got carried away, so here we are with a repository full of many different types.
Surfaced from shared tags and platforms — no rankings paid for.
