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](https://nodejs.org) 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](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) this repository to your own GitHub account and then [clone](https://help.github.com/articles/cloning-a-repository/) 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`
