Unit Conversion

The unit conversion pipe enables you to convert numbers from one unit to another either while data is being loaded or when being saved. 

To convert a number, you must pass the following 4 parameter values: 

• Amount
• From 
• To 
• Precision

Amount is the numeric value to be converted. 

From is where you're converting from. See list below of all available options. 

To is what you'd like to convert it to. 

Precision is how many decimal places should be used. 

Below is the list of available units.

Remember you can only convert within the same category. For example, you can convert from Length to Volume.
