@cityssm/to-millis v1.0.0

To Millis

Increases the readability of millisecond (and second) values in JavaScript.

Handy when used with functions like setTimeout() and setInterval() to provide easy-to-read durations, or when adding to times represented in milliseconds.

Installation

npm install @cityssm/to-millis

Basic Usage

import toMillis from '@cityssm/to-millis'

/*
 * With toMillis 👍
 */

setInterval(dailyTask, toMillis(1, 'day'))

const twoHoursFromNow = Date.now() + toMillis(2, 'hours')

/*
 * Without toMillis,
 * you may expand the calculation to make the amount more readable. 😕
 */

setInterval(dailyTask, 1 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)

const twoHoursFromNow = Date.now() + 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000
