Convertx

Unit Converter CLI

A simple Rust command-line tool for converting between a wide range of units in categories such as length, temperature, mass, data rate, area, volume, speed, pressure, bytes, time and more.

Installation

To install convertx you can do so via cargo

1. Install with Cargo:

cargo add convertx

Or simply put the following in your Cargo.toml.

[dependencies]
convertx = "0.1.0"

2. Clone and build:

Alternatively you can build it from the github repo and optionally install it globally

git clone https://github.com/jcharistech/convertx.git
cd convertx
cargo build --release

The binary will be located in target/release/convertx.

3. (Optional) Install globally:

cargo install --path .

Features

• Length: meters, kilometers, feet, inches
• Temperature: Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin
• Mass/Weight: kilograms, pounds, ounces
• Data Rate: bits per second (bps), megabits per second (mbps)
• Bytes: supports human-readable and MB conversion
• Time: seconds, human-readable duration
• Area: square meters, square feet, acres, hectares
• Volume: liters, milliliters, cubic meters, cubic inches, gallons
• Speed: meters per second, kilometers per hour, miles per hour, knots
• Pressure: pascal, bar, atm, psi
• Easy to extend: add your own units and categories with minimal code changes
• Helpful CLI: shows usage and supported units on --help
