Add data storage units #20

Closed UlrikeS91 closed 3 years ago

@olinux and @lzehl, more? less?

lzehl commented 3 years ago

From my point this is already more than enough. I would be also fine fixing one unit for file sizes (e.g., byte). @olinux what is your impression?

olinux commented 3 years ago

I do agree - this should be way more than sufficient - for now we're going to use bytes only since this is the representation format we get from the SWIFT API.

lzehl commented 3 years ago

@olinux that means @UlrikeS91 should go ahead and register the units? For now I would only register everything between bit and terabyte I think

olinux commented 3 years ago

Yes, I think this is fine - as soon as we have use cases for the larger ones, we can still add them. I think it makes sense to have not only bytes to express imprecision (e.g. you might not know the exact byte size but a rounded GB information) -> this could then be reflected properly. We can think about it how we can simplify the interpretation on the client side
