title: utils.units()
---

The `utils.units()` function converts the units `value` you pass it into a
formatted string for the `format` you pass it.

## Signature

```js
string utils.units(float value, string format = 'metric')
```

Format must be either `imperial` or `metric` (the default).

## Notes

A [part's `draft()` function](/reference/api/part/draft) receives a context-aware
`unit()` function that will call this function and pass it the units requested by the user.

feat: Flat import of markdown repo This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content from our markdown module. We've imported this without history because the repo contains our blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi. Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo to import the full history. Instead, please refer to the history of the (archived) markdown repo at: https://github.com/freesewing/markdown 2021-08-25 16:09:31 +02:00
