Crate use_units 

use-units

Foundational unit descriptors and linear conversion helpers.

use-units provides a compact UnitSpec type for describing compatible units and applying simple linear conversions. It is intended to act as the shared vocabulary layer for future RustUse chemistry, physics, wave, time, finance, and measurement crates.

What this crate provides

Item	Purpose
UnitDomain	Domain tags for cross-workspace unit families
SUPPORTED_DOMAINS	Stable list of the current RustUse unit domains
UnitSpec	Small copyable unit descriptor with a scale to a base
convert_value()	Compatibility-checked linear conversion helper

Installation

[dependencies]
use-units = "0.1.0"

Example

use use_units::{UnitDomain, UnitSpec};

let second = UnitSpec::new(UnitDomain::Time, "duration", "s", 1.0);
let minute = UnitSpec::new(UnitDomain::Time, "duration", "min", 60.0);

assert_eq!(minute.convert_value(2.0, second), Some(120.0));
assert!(minute.is_compatible_with(second));

Scope

• Small, auditable metadata types.
• Linear scaling only.
• No global registry or domain-specific catalogs yet.
