NSMassFormatter can't convert grams to lbs (NSUnitMass) or display value

Question

I am trying to modernize my API calls and want to utilize NSMassFormatter. The problem is simple. I can\'t get any output (aiming for imperial locale). NSMeas

Answer 1

The formatter does not perform any conversions. It merely formats a quantity. A gram is still a gram in any language.

However, NSMassFormatter does provide a convenience method based on kilograms. So for example:

let grams = 62453.0
let measurement = Measurement(value: grams, unit: UnitMass.grams)
let kilos = measurement.converted(to: .kilograms)
let formatter = MassFormatter()
formatter.isForPersonMassUse = true
let s = formatter.string(fromKilograms: kilos.value)
print(s) // "137.685 lb” on my machine
