ms(ms('10 hours'))
Time Format Written-Out
ms(60000, { long: true })

ms(ms('10 hours'), { long: true })
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
