--description--

Build a full stack JavaScript app that is functionally similar to this: https://metric-imperial-converter.freecodecamp.rocks/. Working on this project will involve you writing your code using one of the following methods:

• Clone this GitHub repo and complete your project locally.
• Use our repl.it starter project to complete your project.
• Use a site builder of your choice to complete the project. Be sure to incorporate all the files from our GitHub repo.

When you are done, make sure a working demo of your project is hosted somewhere public. Then submit the URL to it in the Solution Link field. Optionally, also submit a link to your project's source code in the GitHub Link field.

--hints--

I can provide my own project, not the example URL.

(getUserInput) => {
  assert(
    !/.*\/metric-imperial-converter\.freecodecamp\.rocks/.test(
      getUserInput('url')
    )
  );
};

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 which will mark the start of the unit)

I can convert 'gal' to 'L' and vice versa. (1 gal to 3.78541 L)

async (getUserInput) => {
  try {
    const data1 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=1gal');
    assert.equal(data1.returnNum, 3.78541);
    assert.equal(data1.returnUnit, 'L');
    const data2 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=10gal');
    assert.equal(data2.returnNum, 37.8541);
    assert.equal(data2.returnUnit, 'L');
    const data3 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=1l');
    assert.equal(data3.returnNum, 0.26417);
    assert.equal(data3.returnUnit, 'gal');
    const data4 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=10l');
    assert.equal(data4.returnNum, 2.64172);
    assert.equal(data4.returnUnit, 'gal');
  } catch (xhr) {
    throw new Error(xhr.responseText || xhr.message);
  }
};

I can convert 'lbs' to 'kg' and vice versa. (1 lbs to 0.453592 kg)

async (getUserInput) => {
  try {
    const data1 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=1lbs');
    assert.equal(data1.returnNum, 0.45359);
    assert.equal(data1.returnUnit, 'kg');
    const data2 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=10lbs');
    assert.equal(data2.returnNum, 4.53592);
    assert.equal(data2.returnUnit, 'kg');
    const data3 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=1kg');
    assert.equal(data3.returnNum, 2.20462);
    assert.equal(data3.returnUnit, 'lbs');
    const data4 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=10kg');
    assert.equal(data4.returnNum, 22.04624);
    assert.equal(data4.returnUnit, 'lbs');
  } catch (xhr) {
    throw new Error(xhr.responseText || xhr.message);
  }
};

I can convert 'mi' to 'km' and vice versa. (1 mi to 1.60934 km)

async (getUserInput) => {
  try {
    const data1 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=1mi');
    assert.equal(data1.returnNum, 1.60934);
    assert.equal(data1.returnUnit, 'km');
    const data2 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=10mi');
    assert.equal(data2.returnNum, 16.0934);
    assert.equal(data2.returnUnit, 'km');
    const data3 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=1km');
    assert.equal(data3.returnNum, 0.62137);
    assert.equal(data3.returnUnit, 'mi');
    const data4 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=10km');
    assert.equal(data4.returnNum, 6.21373);
    assert.equal(data4.returnUnit, 'mi');
  } catch (xhr) {
    throw new Error(xhr.responseText || xhr.message);
  }
};

All incoming units should be accepted in both upper and lower case, but should be returned in both the initUnit and returnUnit in lower case, except for liter, which should be represented as an uppercase 'L'.

async (getUserInput) => {
  try {
    const data1 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=1gal');
    assert.equal(data1.initUnit, 'gal');
    assert.equal(data1.returnUnit, 'L');
    const data2 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=10L');
    assert.equal(data2.initUnit, 'L');
    assert.equal(data2.returnUnit, 'gal');
    const data3 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=1l');
    assert.equal(data3.initUnit, 'L');
    assert.equal(data3.returnUnit, 'gal');
    const data4 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=10KM');
    assert.equal(data4.initUnit, 'km');
    assert.equal(data4.returnUnit, 'mi');
  } catch (xhr) {
    throw new Error(xhr.responseText || xhr.message);
  }
};

If my unit of measurement is invalid, returned will be 'invalid unit'.

async (getUserInput) => {
  try {
    const data = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=1min');
    assert(data.error === 'invalid unit' || data === 'invalid unit');
  } catch (xhr) {
    throw new Error(xhr.responseText || xhr.message);
  }
};

If my number is invalid, returned will be 'invalid number'.

async (getUserInput) => {
  try {
    const data = await $.get(
      getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=1//2gal'
    );
    assert(data.error === 'invalid number' || data === 'invalid number');
  } catch (xhr) {
    throw new Error(xhr.responseText || xhr.message);
  }
};

If both the unit and number are invalid, returned will be 'invalid number and unit'.

async (getUserInput) => {
  try {
    const data = await $.get(
      getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=1//2min'
    );
    assert(
      data.error === 'invalid number and unit' ||
        data === 'invalid number and unit'
    );
  } catch (xhr) {
    throw new Error(xhr.responseText || xhr.message);
  }
};

I can use fractions, decimals or both in my parameter(ie. 5, 1/2, 2.5/6), but if nothing is provided it will default to 1.

async (getUserInput) => {
  try {
    const data1 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=mi');
    assert.approximately(data1.initNum, 1, 0.001);
    assert.approximately(data1.returnNum, 1.60934, 0.001);
    assert.equal(data1.returnUnit, 'km');
    const data2 = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=1/5mi');
    assert.approximately(data2.initNum, 1 / 5, 0.1);
    assert.approximately(data2.returnNum, 0.32187, 0.001);
    assert.equal(data2.returnUnit, 'km');
    const data3 = await $.get(
      getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=1.5/7km'
    );
    assert.approximately(data3.initNum, 1.5 / 7, 0.001);
    assert.approximately(data3.returnNum, 0.13315, 0.001);
    assert.equal(data3.returnUnit, 'mi');
    const data4 = await $.get(
      getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=3/2.7km'
    );
    assert.approximately(data4.initNum, 3 / 2.7, 0.001);
    assert.approximately(data4.returnNum, 0.69041, 0.001);
    assert.equal(data4.returnUnit, 'mi');
  } catch (err) {
    throw new Error(err.responseText || err.message);
  }
};

My return will consist of the initNum, initUnit, returnNum, returnUnit, and string spelling out units in the format '{initNum} {initial_Units} converts to {returnNum} {return_Units}' with the result rounded to 5 decimals.

async (getUserInput) => {
  try {
    const data = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/convert?input=2mi');
    assert.equal(data.initNum, 2);
    assert.equal(data.initUnit, 'mi');
    assert.approximately(data.returnNum, 3.21868, 0.001);
    assert.equal(data.returnUnit, 'km', 'returnUnit did not match');
    assert.equal(data.string, '2 miles converts to 3.21868 kilometers');
  } catch (xhr) {
    throw new Error(xhr.responseText || xhr.message);
  }
};

All 16 unit tests are complete and passing.

async (getUserInput) => {
  try {
    const getTests = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests');
    assert.isArray(getTests);
    const unitTests = getTests.filter((test) => {
      return !!test.context.match(/Unit Tests ->/gi);
    });
    assert.isAtLeast(unitTests.length, 16, 'At least 16 tests passed');
    unitTests.forEach((test) => {
      assert.equal(test.state, 'passed', 'Tests in Passed State');
      assert.isAtLeast(
        test.assertions.length,
        1,
        'At least one assertion per test'
      );
    });
  } catch (err) {
    throw new Error(err.responseText || err.message);
  }
};

All 5 functional tests are complete and passing.

async (getUserInput) => {
  try {
    const getTests = await $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests');
    assert.isArray(getTests);
    const functTests = getTests.filter((test) => {
      return !!test.context.match(/Functional Tests ->/gi);
    });
    assert.isAtLeast(functTests.length, 5, 'At least 5 tests passed');
    functTests.forEach((test) => {
      assert.equal(test.state, 'passed', 'Tests in Passed State');
      assert.isAtLeast(
        test.assertions.length,
        1,
        'At least one assertion per test'
      );
    });
  } catch (err) {
    throw new Error(err.responseText || err.message);
  }
};
