Convert various time formats to milliseconds
npm install bruce-millisConvert various time formats to milliseconds. Same as ms except it only does parsing, which gives us the opportunity to return a number input as-is. I frequently did:
``js`
const ms = require('ms')
const timeout = typeof n === 'number' ? n : ms(n)
`js
const ms = require('bruce-millis')
ms(24) // 24
ms('5s') // 5000
ms('1m') // 60000
ms('2h') // 7200000
ms('2.5 hrs') // 9000000
ms('10h') // 36000000
ms('1d') // 86400000
ms('2 days') // 172800000
ms('1y') // 31557600000
ms('-3 days') // -259200000
ms('-1h') // -3600000
`
The value argument is required and must be a string or a number (returned as-is). String values are parsed exactly like ms. If the input is invalid, NaN is returned. If you want an error to be thrown, see bruce-millis-option.
With npm do:
`
npm install bruce-millis
