#Expand a string with quantities

Say you have the following string: "5GB", you can expand it to its numeric representation using this module.

It's actually very simple to use...


``javascript

var parse_quantity = require('parse-quantities');


var measure = '5GB';
var qty = parse_quantity(measure);

console.log(qty);

`

Output:

`

{
"scalar": 5,
"baseScalar": 5000000000,
"signature": 25600000000,
"_conversionCache": {},
"numerator: [ "" ],
denominator": [ "<1>" ],
"initValue": "5GB",
"_isBase": false,
"_units": "GB"
}
