Short Description:
A smart and lightweight unit conversion Forge component that lets users convert values from one unit to another with ease. Supports dynamic conversions based on user-defined source and target units. Just provide the current unit, target unit, and the value — UnitXChanger does the rest.

Detailed Description:

UnitXChanger is a reusable and extensible unit conversion component built for OutSystems applications. It allows developers to perform on-the-fly conversions between various units of measurement (e.g., length, volume,gas, weight, temperature, etc.) by simply specifying:

• Source Unit

• Target Unit

• Input Value

This component abstracts the complexity of unit conversion logic and supports dynamic behavior, making it adaptable to a wide range of use cases, such as forms, calculators, dashboards, and reporting tools.

Key Features:

• Dynamic unit conversion between different types of units.

• Simple input: current unit, target unit, and value.

• Extendable unit definitions via the Service Action :  UnitOfMeasures from UnitXChanger_Service module.

• Centralized logic using a Service Action: UnitXChanger from UnitXChanger_Service module.

• Easy integration into any module with minimal setup.

How to Use in Your Application:

1. Add Dependency:

   • In your target module, add a dependency from the Forge component for:

     • Service Action: UnitXChanger

     • Service Action: UnitOfMeasures

2. Prepare Your Data:

   • Ensure the Units data from UnitOfMeasures service action is seeded with relevant name and symbols.

3. Call the Action:

   • From your screen action or logic flow, call the UnitXChanger service action, passing the appropriate unit IDs and value.

4. Use the Result:

   • Display or store the converted result as needed.
