is an ES6 module fork ofms
. It matches the originalms

instead of Node's commonjsrequire()
. See the updated code snippets below for the new import syntax.
ms
Use this package to easily convert various time formats to milliseconds.
Examples
; // 172800000 // 86400000 // 36000000 // 9000000 // 7200000 // 60000 // 5000 // 31557600000 // 100
Convert from Milliseconds
// "1m" // "2m" // "10h"
Time Format Written-Out
// "1 minute" // "2 minutes" // "10 hours"
Features
- Works both in Node.js and in the browser
- If a number is supplied to
ms
, a string with a unit is returned - If a string that contains the number is supplied, it returns it as a number (e.g.: it returns
100
for'100'
) - If you pass a string with a number and a valid unit, the number of equivalent milliseconds is returned
Caught a Bug?
- Fork this repository to your own GitHub account and then clone it to your local device
- Link the package to the global module directory:
npm link
- Within the module you want to test your local development instance of ms, just link it to the dependencies:
npm link ms
. Instead of the default one from npm, Node.js will now use your clone of ms!
As always, you can run the tests using: npm test
