humanize-ms
Advanced tools
The humanize-ms npm package is designed to convert various time formats into milliseconds. It is particularly useful for applications that need to handle and manipulate time intervals in a human-readable format and then convert them to milliseconds for processing or scheduling tasks.
Convert human-readable strings to milliseconds
This feature allows the conversion of a human-readable string like '2 days' into its equivalent in milliseconds. It is useful for setting timeouts, intervals, or calculating durations in applications.
const humanize = require('humanize-ms');
console.log(humanize('2 days')); // 172800000Support for various time units
The package supports various time units such as hours, minutes, and seconds, allowing for flexible conversions depending on the needs of the application.
const humanize = require('humanize-ms');
console.log(humanize('1 hour')); // 3600000
console.log(humanize('30 seconds')); // 30000Similar to humanize-ms, the 'ms' package provides utilities for converting various time formats into milliseconds and vice versa. It also allows for string representations like '1h' which humanize-ms supports. The 'ms' package is widely used and offers both parsing and formatting capabilities, making it slightly more versatile compared to humanize-ms.
The 'parse-duration' npm package is another alternative that converts human-readable duration strings into milliseconds. Unlike humanize-ms, parse-duration can handle a broader range of time formats and units, providing more flexibility for parsing complex duration expressions.
