FUNCTIONS

convert_magnesium_unit

Usage:

convert_magnesium_unit(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Convert a magnesium quantity from one unit to another.

Examples:

  • Show all possible conversions:

    convert_magnesium_unit();

    Result:

  • Find out how many milligrams of elemental magnesium is in 1000mg of pure magnesium l-threonate (but note that a supplement product might not contain 100%-pure compound):

    convert_magnesium_unit(quantity => "1000 mg-mg-l-threonate", to_unit => "mg-mg-elem");

    Result:

    [200, "OK", 83, {}]

  • Find out how many milligrams of elemental magnesium is in 3g (1 recommended serving) of NOW Foods magnesium citrate powder (magnesium content is as advertised on the label):

    convert_magnesium_unit(
  quantity => "3000 mg-mg-citrate-ah-nowfoods",
  to_unit  => "mg-mg-elem"
);

    Result:

    [200, "OK", 435, {}]

  • Find out how many milligrams of elemental magnesium is in 2.5g (1 recommended serving) of NOW Foods magnesium bisglycinate powder (magnesium content is as advertised on the label):

    convert_magnesium_unit(
  quantity => "2500 mg-mg-bisglycinate-nowfoods",
  to_unit  => "mg-mg-elem"
);

    Result:

    [200, "OK", 250, {}]

If target unit is not specified, will show all known conversions.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • quantity => str (default: "1 mg")

  • to_unit => str

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
