Byte Unit Converter Laravel Package

Added

• Introducing operations with add, sub and subtract (object bytes still immutable, so new instance of the object will be returned on each operation)

Changed

• Breakchange: Refactor asRound method now accepts integer and boolean (default now is round up to 2 decimal positions if possible).

Added

• ByteUnitConverter::numberFormat() static method to be reused within library (although can be used externally)

Changed

• ByteUnitConverter::new() method now accepts strings or integers as input argument
• ByteUnitConverter::from() method now accepts strings, floats or integers as first input argument

Fixed

• ByteUnitConverter::asRound() method now returns zero (0) results with decimals only if results are 0

Added

• ByteUnitConverter::nearestUnit() method to convert to nearest byte unit (and metric system):

(string) ByteUnitConverter::new("1024")->nearestUnit(MetricSystem::Binary); // 1 KiB
(string) ByteUnitConverter::new("500")->nearestUnit(stoppingAt: ByteUnit::KB); // 0.50 KB

Fixed

• Conversion to bytes doesn't give decimals

Added

• OpenSoutheners\ByteUnitConverter\MetricSystem enum for decimal or binary metric systems
• OpenSoutheners\ByteUnitConverter\DataUnit enum for bytes or bits data units
• In order to support long numbers most-precisive operations now this library requires BCMath PHP extension
• ByteUnitConverter::toArray method to serialise to array
• ByteUnitConverter::__toString method to serialise to string with the closest unit appended
• ByteUnitConverter::__serialize & ByteUnitConverter::__deserialize methods to object serialization and deserialization
• ByteUnit::lowerThan method to check current unit lower than specified (opposite than already available greaterThan)
• ByteUnitConverter::new convenience method to create an instance of ByteUnitConverter class
• ByteUnitConverter::usingBits & ByteUnitConverter::usingBytes to switch data units (using bytes by default)
• ByteUnitConverter::asRound while precision method only operates during decimal conversions, this method will return a round number with no decimals (defaulted to false). E.g:

(string) ByteUnitConverter::new('1924')->toKiB(); // "1.87 KiB"
(string) ByteUnitConverter::new('1924')->asRound()->toKiB(); // "2 KiB"

Fixed

• Support to long numbers (floats or integers on PHP must be strings)
• Working with conversions sometimes returns float numbers when integers were the only allowed
• Correctness in all conversions and comparisons between different systems (decimal to binary, bytes to bits...)

Changed

• OpenSoutheners\ByteUnitConverter\DecimalByteUnit & OpenSoutheners\ByteUnitConverter\BinaryByteUnit replaced by OpenSoutheners\ByteUnitConverter\ByteUnit
• Precision argument to from and toBytesFromUnit methods
• to* methods (toTB, toGB, toMB, etc...) now returns instance instead of number. Use the following to get it casted to a string:

(string) ByteUnitConverter::new('1024')->toKiB(); // "1.00 KiB"

Removed

• ByteUnitConverter::conversion static method (simplified to ByteUnitConverter::new()->to...)
• ByteUnitConverter::toBitsFromUnit static method (we only use bytes as a starter, can switch to bits while having an instance but not before)

Added

• Initial release!
