periods v1.0.1

Periods

Defined time-periods constants for Javascript, in milliseconds. Exposed as functions to make mis-typing fail noisily, rather than manifesting as NaNs in your data.

var periods = require("periods");

var twentyFourHoursLater = Date.now() + periods.day();

var week = periods.week;

var durations = [1,2,3];
var weekDurations = durations.map(week);

Works in browser too.
