@stdlib/time

About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Time

Time utilities.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/time

Usage

var time = require( '@stdlib/time' );

time

Namespace containing time utilities.

var ns = time;
// returns {...}

Calendar Utilities

• dayOfQuarter( [month[, day, year]] ): determine the day of the quarter.
• dayOfYear( [month[, day, year]] ): determine the day of the year.
• daysInMonth( [month[, year]] ): determine the number of days in a month.
• daysInYear( [value] ): determine the number of days in a year according to the Gregorian calendar.
• hoursInMonth( [month[, year]] ): determine the number of hours in a month.
• hoursInYear( [value] ): determine the number of hours in a year according to the Gregorian calendar.
• isoWeeksInYear( [value] ): determine the number of ISO weeks in a year according to the Gregorian calendar.
• minutesInMonth( [month[, year]] ): determine the number of minutes in a month.
• minutesInYear( [value] ): determine the number of minutes in a year according to the Gregorian calendar.
• quarterOfYear( [month] ): determine the quarter of the year.
• secondsInMonth( [month[, year]] ): determine the number of seconds in a month.
• secondsInYear( [value] ): determine the number of seconds in a year according to the Gregorian calendar.

var num = time.daysInYear( 2000 );
// returns 366

num = time.hoursInMonth( 2, 2017 );
// returns 672

Timer Utilities

• tic(): return a high-resolution time.
• toc( time ): return a high-resolution time difference.

var time = require( '@stdlib/time' );

var start = time.tic();

setTimeout( onTimeout, 2000 );

function onTimeout() {
    var elapsed = time.toc( start );
    console.log( 'Elapsed: %d seconds and %d nanoseconds', elapsed[0], elapsed[1] );
}

Examples

var objectKeys = require( '@stdlib/utils/keys' );
var time = require( '@stdlib/time' );

console.log( objectKeys( time ) );
