timeTo

A tiny utility to convert time to another unit

Installation

$ npm install timeto

Usage

Supported time units:

• y - Year (defined as 365.25 days)
• d - Day
• h - Hours
• m - Minutes
• s - Seconds
• ms - Milliseconds

timeTo(
  '1d12h', // a string for the input time
  'ms'     // output value for the time period (defaults to ms)
)

It can also take an object of shape { /* time unit */ h: 12 /* amount */ }

timeTo(
  { d: 1, h: 12 }, // an object specifying the duration
  'm'              // output value for the time period (defaults to ms)
)

Alternatively you can pass a number as the input specified as a time period in milliseconds and return it in another duration

timeTo(
  86400000, // a number in milliseconds for the input time
  'm'       // output value for the time period (defaults to ms)
)

Returns a number that is the input time duration in terms of the output time unit specified

Example

const timeTo = require('timeto')
 
const msValue = timeTo('1d12h' /* 1 day 12 hours */, 'ms')
 
console.log(msValue) // 129600000

Additional notes

• Time units must be lowercase
• Months are not supported since they fluctuate in duration
