NTP Client
Lightweight (no dependencies) modern Javascript (Node 8 LTS or later) implementation of the NTP Client Protocol. Based on node-ntp-client and NTPServer.
We use it in production at https://transfers.do for webhooks timestamps checking (like Stripe and so on) where VM time is not reliable enough.
Usage
Add the module to your project with npm install @destinationstransfers/ntp
.
const NTPClient = require('@destinationstransfers/ntp)';
const date = await NTPClient.getNetworkTime();
console.log(date) // 2017-09-20T15:29:09.443Z
API
getNetworkTime
accepts hash of parameters, below they are with default values:
const { getNetworkTime } = require('@destinationstransfers/ntp)';
const date = await getNetworkTime({
timeout = 10000, // timeout in ms, default is 10sec
server = 'time.google.com', // ntp server address
port = 123, // NTP server port
})
You also can override default values using env variables NPT_PORT
, NTP_SERVER
and NTP_REPLY_TIMEOUT
.
