View Source Cldr.Unit.Range (Cldr Units v3.17.2)

Implements a unit range type, similar to Date.Range.

A unit range but be comprise first and last units that have the same base unit. The last unit will be converted to the unit type of the first unit.

Unit ranges are useful in at least the following cases:

  1. To be able to enumerate a unit range.
  2. To be able to format a unit range in a localised manner using Cldr.Number.to_range_string/2.

Summary

Types

t()

A unit range consists of two units where the last unit can be converted to the same unit type as the first unit.

Types

@type t() :: %Cldr.Unit.Range{first: Cldr.Unit.t(), last: Cldr.Unit.t()}

A unit range consists of two units where the last unit can be converted to the same unit type as the first unit.

Examples

{:ok, Cldr.Unit.Range.new!(Cldr.Unit.new!(:gram, 1), Cldr.Unit.new!(:gram, 4))}

iex> Cldr.Unit.Range.new Cldr.Unit.new!(:gram, 1), Cldr.Unit.new!(:liter, 4)
{:error,
 {Cldr.Unit.InvalidRangeError,
  "Unit ranges require that the last unit can be converted to the first unit. " <>
  "Found Cldr.Unit.new!(:gram, 1) and Cldr.Unit.new!(:liter, 4)"}}

iex> Cldr.Unit.Range.new Cldr.Unit.new!(:gram, 5), Cldr.Unit.new!(:gram, 4)
{:error,
 {Cldr.Unit.InvalidRangeError,
  "Unit ranges require that the first unit be less than or equal to the last. " <>
