What is @types/ms?

The @types/ms package provides TypeScript type definitions for the ms package, which is a utility to easily convert various time formats to milliseconds and vice versa. It's particularly useful when working with time-related operations in Node.js applications. By using @types/ms, developers can get autocomplete and type checking functionalities for the ms package in TypeScript projects, enhancing development efficiency and reducing runtime errors.

What are @types/ms's main functionalities?

Convert time format to milliseconds

This feature allows you to convert human-readable time formats (like '2 days', '1h', or '10 hours') into milliseconds. It's particularly useful for setting timeouts, intervals, or calculating time differences in applications.

"import ms from 'ms';\nconsole.log(ms('2 days')); // 172800000\nconsole.log(ms('1h')); // 3600000\nconsole.log(ms('10 hours')); // 36000000"

Convert milliseconds to time format

This feature enables the conversion of milliseconds into a more human-readable time format. It supports both short and long formats, and can also handle negative values, which can be useful for displaying countdowns or elapsed time.

"import ms from 'ms';\nconsole.log(ms(60000, { long: true })); // '1 minute'\nconsole.log(ms(2 * 60000)); // '2m'\nconsole.log(ms(-3 * 60000, { long: true })); // '-3 minutes'"
