Single expressions

1h, 1m, 1s and so on...

import { stringtoms } from 'stringtoms';
stringtoms('1ms');
stringtoms('1s');
stringtoms('1m');
stringtoms('1h');

Complex expressions

1h 1m, 1m 1s and so on...

import { stringtoms } from 'stringtoms';
stringtoms('1s 1ms'); // means 1 second and 1 millisecond
stringtoms('1m 1s'); // means 1 minute and 1 second
stringtoms('1m 1m'); // means 1 minute and 1 minute
stringtoms('1h 1ms'); // means 1 hour and 1 millisecond

Auto correction

1h is equal to 1 h is equal to 1 hour

Any \W symbols are removed. Spaces are not needed.

import { stringtoms } from 'stringtoms';
stringtoms('1h') === stringtoms('1 h') === stringtoms('1  hour') === stringtoms('1#hour');
stringtoms('1m1s') === stringtoms('1 m 1 s') === stringtoms('1 m1 s') === stringtoms('1m 1s');

Auto complete

1h 1 is 1h 1m, 1 1m is 1h 1m.

Tries to complete left and right for missing units.

import { stringtoms } from 'stringtoms';
stringtoms('1h 1') === stringtoms('1 h 1m') === stringtoms('1 1m');
stringtoms('1 1s 1') === stringtoms('1 m 1 s 1 ms') === stringtoms('1m 1s 1ms');
