duration2ms

Convert a duration string to milliseconds.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/time-duration2ms

Usage

var duration2ms = require( '@stdlib/time-duration2ms' );

duration2ms( str )

Converts a duration string to milliseconds.

var ms = duration2ms( '1d' );
// returns 86400000

ms = duration2ms( '1d2h3m4s5ms' );
// returns 93784005

Notes

• A duration string is a string containing a sequence of time units. A time unit is a nonnegative integer followed by a unit identifier. The following unit identifiers are supported:

  • d: days
  • h: hours
  • m: minutes
  • s: seconds
  • ms: milliseconds

  For example, the string 1m3s10ms is a duration string containing three time units: 1m (1 minute), 3s (3 seconds), and 10ms (10 milliseconds). The string 60m is a duration string containing a single time unit: 60m (60 minutes).

• Duration strings are case insensitive. For example, the string 1M3S10MS is equivalent to 1m3s10ms.

Examples

var duration2ms = require( '@stdlib/time-duration2ms' );

var ms = duration2ms( '5s20ms' );
// returns 5020

ms = duration2ms( '1h' );
// returns 3600000

ms = duration2ms( '1m2s3ms' );
// returns 62003
