📝 Description

A NodeJS module to convert temperature units.

Unit	Symbol	Symbol Lowercase	Name	Name Lowercase
Kelvin [SI]	`K`	`k`	`Kelvin`	`kelvin`
Celsius	`C`	`c`	`Celsius`	`celsius`
Delisle	`De`	`de`	`Delisle`	`delisle`
Fahrenheit	`F`	`f`	`Fahrenheit`	`fahrenheit`
Rankine	`R`	`r`	`Rankine`	`rankine`
Réaumur	`Re`	`re`	`Reaumur`	`reaumur`
Rømer	`Ro`	`ro`	`Roemer`, `Romer`	`roemer`, `romer`
Sir Isaac Newton's degree of temperature (Newton)	`N`	`n`	`Newton`	`newton`

Degree symbol (°) is not used in here.
In order to fulfill the JavaScript namespace naming requirement, some characters are replaced (e.g.: é to e, ø to o).
This module uses the built in JavaScript Number type, which is a floating point number with a limited precision of 64 bits, about 16 digits. Floating point numbers round-off errors can occur during calculations:
```
0.1 + 0.2;
//=> 0.30000000000000004
```
In most cases, round-off errors do not matter, they have no significant impact on the results. However, it looks ugly when displaying output to a user. A solution is to limit the precision just below the actual precision of 16 digits in the displayed output:
```
(0.1 + 0.2).toPrecision(14);
//=> 0.3
```

npm install @hugoalh/temperature

const Temperature = require("@hugoalh/temperature");

import Temperature from "@hugoalh/temperature";

new Temperature(value: number, unit?: string = "K"): Temperature
Temperature.difference(a: Temperature, b: Temperature): TemperatureDifference

new Temperature(25, "C").K
//=> 298.15

new Temperature(298.15).C
//=> 25
