What is @types/pretty-hrtime?
@types/pretty-hrtime is a TypeScript type definition package for the pretty-hrtime library, which is used to convert high-resolution time (hrtime) to a human-readable format.
What are @types/pretty-hrtime's main functionalities?
Formatting High-Resolution Time
This feature allows you to format high-resolution time (hrtime) into a human-readable string. The code sample demonstrates how to measure the time taken for a task and then format it using pretty-hrtime.
const prettyHrtime = require('pretty-hrtime');
const start = process.hrtime();
// do some work
const end = process.hrtime(start);
console.log(prettyHrtime(end));
Verbose Formatting
This feature provides a more verbose output for the formatted high-resolution time. The code sample shows how to enable verbose formatting to get a more detailed human-readable string.
const prettyHrtime = require('pretty-hrtime');
const start = process.hrtime();
// do some work
const end = process.hrtime(start);
console.log(prettyHrtime(end, { verbose: true }));
Precise Formatting
This feature allows for precise formatting of the high-resolution time, showing more decimal places. The code sample demonstrates how to enable precise formatting for a more accurate human-readable string.
const prettyHrtime = require('pretty-hrtime');
const start = process.hrtime();
// do some work
const end = process.hrtime(start);
console.log(prettyHrtime(end, { precise: true }));
Other packages similar to @types/pretty-hrtime
humanize-duration
The humanize-duration package is used to convert a duration in milliseconds to a human-readable format. Unlike pretty-hrtime, which works with high-resolution time, humanize-duration is more suited for general-purpose duration formatting.
moment
Moment.js is a comprehensive library for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates and times in JavaScript. While it is more feature-rich compared to pretty-hrtime, it is not specifically designed for high-resolution time formatting.
date-fns
date-fns is a modern JavaScript date utility library that provides a variety of functions for working with dates and times. Similar to moment, it is not specialized for high-resolution time but offers a wide range of date manipulation features.
