An easy way to use readable timestrings in your code.
This library is written because of the problem with jsonwebtokens and cookies. I find it a lot easier to say 5d instead of calculating the amount of ms in 5 days. This library is also very useful for other things like timeouts and intervals.
- Convert timestrings to milliseconds
- Convert timestrings to seconds
- Convert timestrings to minutes
- Convert timestrings to hours
- Convert timestrings to days
- Works in ESM CJS and typescript
To install this library, you can use npm or yarn.
npm install timestringconverteryarn add timestringconverterimportant: you need to use d, h, m, s and ms to define the time. You can also use uppercase letters.
const timestringconverter = require('timestringconverter');
console.log(timestringconverter.ToMs('5d')); // 432000000
console.log(timestringconverter.ToSec('5d2h4m')); // 439440
console.log(timestringconverter.ToMin('5d9h')); // 7740
console.log(timestringconverter.ToHour('5d2H')); // 122
console.log(timestringconverter.ToDay('2h500m10000ms')); // 0.43067129629629625- Input must be a non-empty string.
- Supported units are:
d,h,m,s,ms. - Invalid formats throw an error.
try {
timestringconverter.ToSec('');
} catch (error) {
console.error(error.message);
// Input is required and must be a non-empty string.
}
try {
timestringconverter.ToSec('abc');
} catch (error) {
console.error(error.message);
// Invalid input. Use values like 1d2h30m15s250ms.
