ms
Use this package to easily convert various time formats to milliseconds.
Examples
ms('2 days') // 172800000
ms('1d') // 86400000
ms('10h') // 36000000
ms('2.5 hrs') // 9000000
ms('2h') // 7200000
ms('1m') // 60000
ms('5s') // 5000
ms('1y') // 31557600000
ms('100') // 100
Convert from milliseconds
ms(60000) // "1m"
ms(2 * 60000) // "2m"
ms(ms('10 hours')) // "10h"
Time format written-out
ms(60000, { long: true }) // "1 minute"
ms(2 * 60000, { long: true }) // "2 minutes"
ms(ms('10 hours'), { long: true }) // "10 hours"
Features
- Works both in node and in the browser.
- If a number is supplied to
ms
, a string with a unit is returned. - If a string that contains the number is supplied, it returns it as a number (e.g.: it returns
100
for'100'
). - If you pass a string with a number and a valid unit, the number of equivalent ms is returned.
Caught a bug?
- Fork this repository to your own GitHub account and then clone it to your local device
- Link the package to the global module directory:
npm link
- Within the module you want to test your local development instance of ms, just link it to the dependencies:
npm link ms
. Instead of the default one from npm, node will now use your clone of ms!
As always, you can run the tests using: npm test
