FUNCTIONS

convert_vitamin_a_unit

Usage:

convert_vitamin_a_unit(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

Convert a vitamin A quantity from one unit to another.

Examples:

  • Show all possible conversions:

    convert_vitamin_a_unit(quantity => "mcg");

    Result:

    [
      200,
      "OK",
      [
        { amount => 0.001, unit => "mg" },
        { amount => 1, unit => "mcg" },
        { amount => 1, unit => "mcg-all-trans-retinol" },
        {
          amount => 12.000000048,
          unit   => "mcg-dietary-all-trans-beta-carotene",
        },
        { amount => 23.999999808, unit => "mcg-alpha-carotene" },
        { amount => 23.999999808, unit => "mcg-beta-cryptoxanthin" },
        {
          amount => 2,
          unit   => "mcg-all-trans-beta-carotene-as-food-supplement",
        },
        { amount => 3.33333333333333, unit => "IU" },
        { amount => 3.33333333333333, unit => "IU-retinol" },
        { amount => 1.66666666666667, unit => "IU-beta-carotene" },
      ],
      {},
    ]
  • Convert from mcg to IU (retinol):

    convert_vitamin_a_unit(quantity => "1500 mcg", to_unit => "IU"); # -> [200, "OK", 5000, {}]
  • Convert from mcg to IU (retinol):

    convert_vitamin_a_unit(quantity => "1500 mcg", to_unit => "IU-retinol"); # -> [200, "OK", 5000, {}]
  • Convert from mcg to IU (beta-carotene):

    convert_vitamin_a_unit(quantity => "1500 mcg", to_unit => "IU-beta-carotene"); # -> [200, "OK", 2500, {}]
  • Convert from IU to mg:

    convert_vitamin_a_unit(quantity => "5000 IU", to_unit => "mg"); # -> [200, "OK", 1.5, {}]

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

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • quantity* => str

  • to_unit => str

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)

convert_vitamin_d_unit

Usage:

convert_vitamin_d_unit(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

Convert a vitamin D quantity from one unit to another.

Examples:

    Result:

    [
      200,
      "OK",
      [
        { amount => 1, unit => "mcg" },
        { amount => 0.001, unit => "mg" },
        { amount => 40, unit => "IU" },
      ],
      {},
    ]
  • Convert from mcg to IU:

    convert_vitamin_d_unit(quantity => "2 mcg", to_unit => "IU"); # -> [200, "OK", 80, {}]
