This is a Python/Flask
port of the API portion of my
Node.js metric-imperial converter microservice project. It fulfills the following user stories:
-
I can GET
/api/convert
with a single parameter
containing an accepted number and unit and have it converted.
-
Hint: Split the input by looking for the index of the first character.
-
I can convert 'gal' to 'L' and vice versa. (1 gal to 3.78541 L)
-
I can convert 'lbs' to 'kg' and vice versa.
(1 lbs to 0.453592 kg)
-
I can convert 'mi' to 'km' and vice versa. (1 mi to 1.60934 km)
-
If my unit of measurement is invalid, returned will be 'invalid unit'.
- If my number is invalid, returned with will 'invalid number'.
- If both are invalid, return will be 'invalid number and unit'.
-
I can use fractions, decimals or both in my parameter (e.g., 5, 1/2,
2.5/6), but if nothing is provided it will default to 1.
-
My return will consist of the
initNum
,
initUnit
, returnNum
,
returnUnit
, and string
spelling out units in
format
{initNum} {initial_Units} converts to {returnNum}
{return_Units}
with the result rounded to 5 decimals.
