ms2duration

Convert a number of milliseconds to a string duration.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/time-ms2duration

Usage

var ms2duration = require( '@stdlib/time-ms2duration' );

ms2duration( str )

Converts a number of milliseconds to a string duration.

var duration = ms2duration( 1030 );
// returns '1s30ms'

duration = ms2duration( 3600000 );
// returns '1h'

Notes

• A duration string is a string containing a sequence of time units. A time unit is a non-negative 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).

Examples

var ms2duration = require( '@stdlib/time-ms2duration' );

var duration = ms2duration( 1030 );
// returns '1s30ms'

duration = ms2duration( 3600000 );
// returns '1h'

duration = ms2duration( 0 );
// returns '0ms'

duration = ms2duration( 86400000 );
// returns '1d'

duration = ms2duration( 86400000+3600000+60000+1000+100 );
// returns '1d1h1m1s100ms'
