Function extractMeasurements

extractMeasurements(
text: string,
options?: ExtractMeasurementsOptions,
): Measurement[]
Finds every quantity paired with a known unit of measure in a string, along with where each one sits in the text.

Intended for text that has already been parsed — an Ingredient.description, a recipe step — where imperial fragments such as "1 1/2-inch" or "(about 1 pound)" remain embedded in prose. Composes with convertUnit, which the unit IDs feed directly.

parseIngredient's descriptionMeasurements option runs exactly this over each ingredient's description.
Parameters
- text: string
  The text to scan.
- options: ExtractMeasurementsOptions = {}
  Configuration options.
Returns Measurement[]
Example
```
extractMeasurements('cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes')
// [
//   {
//     quantity: 1.5,
//     quantity2: null,
//     unitOfMeasureID: 'inch',
//     unitOfMeasure: 'inch',
//     unitType: 'length',
//     text: '1 1/2-inch',
//     startIndex: 9,
//     endIndex: 19,
//   },
// ]
```
