ms

Use this package to easily convert various time formats to milliseconds.

Examples

js 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

js ms(60000) // "1m" ms(2 * 60000) // "2m" ms(ms('10 hours')) // "10h"

Time format written-out

js 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?

1. Fork this repository to your own GitHub account and then clone it to your local device
2. Link the package to the global module directory: npm link
3. 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
