Method: UnitMeasurements::Unit#conversion_factor

Defined in:
lib/unit_measurements/unit.rb

#conversion_factor ⇒ Numeric

Calculates the conversion factor for the unit. This method is recursively invoked to calculate the conversion factor of the unit, if unit conversion value is specified with respect to the other unit.

This method uses parse_value method to extract the conversion value and the unit.

Returns:

  • (Numeric) —

    The conversion factor as a numeric value.
