juration

Juration.js
========

A simple natural language duration parser written in javascript. Time ranges (in seconds) can also be converted to human readable strings. Check out the demo.

Inspired by chronic, and chronic_duration.

Fork changes
-----

- Added node.js package
- Multilanguage support

TODO
-----

- Make juration a function (so that settings aren't shared among instances)

Usage
-----

Client-side:

Node.js:

var juration = require('juration');

$3

juration.parse("3mins 5secs"); // returns 185

$3

juration.stringify(185); // returns "3 mins 5 secs"
juration.stringify(185, { format: 'small' }); // returns "3 mins 5 secs"
juration.stringify(185, { format: 'micro' }); // returns "3m 5s"
juration.stringify(185, { format: 'long' }); // returns "3 minutes 5 seconds"
juration.stringify(185, { format: 'long', units: 1 }); // returns "3 minutes"
juration.stringify(3601, { format: 'micro', units: 2 }); // returns "1h"

$3

Client-side:



Node.js

juration.setLanguage('it-IT');

Examples
--------
Parse-able strings:

* 12.4 secs
* 3 mins 4 sec
* 2 hrs 20 min
* 2h20min
* 6 mos 1 day
* 47 yrs 6 mos and 4d
* 3 weeks and 2 days

* Add customisable default unit option, e.g. juration.parse("10", { defaultUnit: 'minutes' }) // returns 600
* Parse chrono format i.e. hh:mm:ss
