parse-human-timeout-duration

Basically timestring-notsep but checks the range limits for valid JS setTimeout() timespans.

API

This module exports one function:

parseHumanTimeoutDuration(dura[, opts])

Takes a human-readable timespan dura. Returns false (see below) or a number (see below).

opts is an optional options object that supports these keys:

• optional: If true and dura is one of the non-durations false, 'never' or 'off', return false instead of complaining.
• unit: Desired unit of measurement for the result number. Can be 'sec' (default) or 'ms'.
• min: Complain if the result would be less than this. Defaults to 0.
• descr: Text to annotate error messages with if an error occurrs.
• lookup: A dictionary object. dura is used as the key to look up the real duration.

parseHumanTimeoutDuration(opts)

If called with an object as first argument, and the second argument is false-y or missing, the first is used as opts. In this case you have to specify the dura as…

• opts.key if opts.lookup is used, or
• opts.duration otherwise.
