[Daily Package] ms

ms

ms converts various time formats to milliseconds and vice versa.

/* time format to milliseconds */ ms('2 days') // 172800000 ms('1d') // 86400000 ms('10h') // 36000000 ms('2.5 hrs') // 9000000 ms('2h') // 7200000 ms('1m') // 60000 /* milliseconds to time format */ ms(60000) // "1m" ms(2 * 60000) // "2m" ms(-3 * 60000) // "-3m" ms(ms('10 hours')) // "10h"

Why do we need this?

It's okay to use milliseconds directly in your code.

setTimeout(() => { console.log('Hi') }, 180_000)

But this might not be a good practice, because it's hard to tell how many minutes 180,000 milliseconds is at a glance.

You can improve readability by commenting or using constants.

const THREE_MINUTES_IN_MS = 180_000 setTimeout(() => { console.log('Hi') }, THREE_MINUTES_IN_MS)

I actually used to write in this way, and if you're not handling milliseconds a lot, this is a better option than ms.

However, if you're not, ms is a good choice. You don't have to write an extra variable, and it's much easier to change the time. ?
