nanotime-bigint v0.1.0

NanoTime Bigint

Gets the current time in nanoseconds or microseconds.

In node.js you can get high resolution time with process.hrtime(), but it is from an unknown relative time, not epoch. So this library helps that by calculating the difference and adding it to the current time.

Usage

const nanoTime = require("nanotime-bigint");

nanoTime.nanoseconds(); // 15590662695712237087n
nanoTime.microseconds(); // 15590662695712458n

This repository was inspired by https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sazze/node-nanotime

The original purpose was to rewrite the library in typescript and support node > 10.4.0 by returning a bigint.
