humanize-ms

What is humanize-ms?

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.

What are humanize-ms's main functionalities?

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')); // 172800000

Support 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')); // 30000

Other packages similar to humanize-ms

ms

Similar 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.

parse-duration

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.
