[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/wasilak/bytes_converter.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/wasilak/bytes_converter) [![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/bytes_converter.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/rb/bytes_converter) [![Code Climate](https://codeclimate.com/github/wasilak/bytes_converter/badges/gpa.svg)](https://codeclimate.com/github/wasilak/bytes_converter)

Gem converting Kilobytes, Megabytes and Gigabytes into bytes.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'bytes_converter'
```

And then execute:

```
$ bundle
```

Or install it yourself as:

```
$ gem install bytes_converter
```

## Usage

first:

```ruby
require "bytes_converter"
```

Converting strings to bytes:

```ruby
BytesConverter::convert "some string" # --> Float
```

where "some string" can be anything like in these examples:

```ruby
BytesConverter::convert "12.3M" # --> 12897484.8
BytesConverter::convert "12.3" # --> 12.3 (no unit means bytes)
BytesConverter::convert "12.3 kilo bytes" # --> 12595.2
BytesConverter::convert "12.3 Megabytes" # --> 12897484.8
BytesConverter::convert "12.3 m" # --> 12897484.8
BytesConverter::convert "12.3 k" # --> 12595.2
BytesConverter::convert "12.3 bk" # --> 0.0 (b is not recognized)
BytesConverter::convert "12,3m" # --> 12897484.8
BytesConverter::convert "123" # --> 123
```

You can add new unit as a hash. Let's say you want OrangeBytes unit:

```ruby
orange = {"o" => 2}
BytesConverter::add_unit orange
```

... and remove it with:

```ruby
BytesConverter::remove_unit "o"
```

To get all available units:

```ruby
BytesConverter::get_units # --> Hash
```
