Periods

Defined time-periods constants for Javascript, in milliseconds. Exposed as functions to make mis-typing fail noisily, rather than manifesting as NaNs in your data.

var periods = require("periods");
 
var twentyFourHoursLater = Date.now() + periods.day();
 
var week = periods.week;
 
var durations = [1,2,3];
var weekDurations = durations.map(week);

Works in browser too.
