fix: #116 Add outputMetricUnits to config types and use in itinerary-…

…body

TODO:

1. Add to

packages/location-field/src/options.tsx:90

{humanizeDistanceString(stop.dist, config.outputMetricUnits,true)}

But we have to pass through the config somehow.

2. Also in the printable printable-itinerary still imperial units are used, but I couldn't figure out where this is rendered.

2. using react dev tools I confirmed that the config is correct in the print-component - I actually think this is related to my workflow (#773), because printable-itinerary depends on itinerary-body and probably is using the old version. So not a real issue.

Not sure if c389bed is the right approach (to pass the outputMetricUnits into the location field component) of if we should access some global configuration from there.

Sorry for the long delay on this, but have finally had the time to take a look at this. I don't mind this approach, however is it not possible to use react-intl to handle this?

[amenk]

Thanks, what do you mean exactly?

[miles-grant-ibigroup]

Is https://formatjs.io/docs/react-intl/api#formatnumber not appropriate here?

[amenk]

@miles-grant-ibigroup I don't know. As you can see from the PR, there is already a humanizeDistanceString function in the code base which can be used.

It's more about passing the setting, whether to use imperial or metric all the way down to the components.

[miles-grant-ibigroup]

Thanks for clarifying, I've discussed it with others and I think your approach is the best way to implement this feature. Once the PR is ready the approach has my approval!

@miles-grant-ibigroup cool :-) Actually I have technical problems to complete the PR ... still this yarn linking stuff :-(
In case you want to pick up...

There are really more countries (luckily IMO) using the metric system than the imperial one ;-)
