- # ms
-
- 
-
- Use this package to easily convert various time formats to milliseconds.
-
- ## Examples
-
- ```js
- ms('2 days') // 172800000
- ms('1d') // 86400000
- ms('10h') // 36000000
- ms('2.5 hrs') // 9000000
- ms('2h') // 7200000
- ms('1m') // 60000
- ms('5s') // 5000
- ms('1y') // 31557600000
- ms('100') // 100
- ms('-3 days') // -259200000
- ms('-1h') // -3600000
- ms('-200') // -200
- ```
-
- ### Convert from Milliseconds
-
- ```js
- ms(60000) // "1m"
- ms(2 * 60000) // "2m"
- ms(-3 * 60000) // "-3m"
- ms(ms('10 hours')) // "10h"
- ```
-
- ### Time Format Written-Out
-
- ```js
- ms(60000, { long: true }) // "1 minute"
- ms(2 * 60000, { long: true }) // "2 minutes"
- ms(-3 * 60000, { long: true }) // "-3 minutes"
- ms(ms('10 hours'), { long: true }) // "10 hours"
- ```
-
- ## Features
-
- - Works both in [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) and in the browser
- - If a number is supplied to `ms`, a string with a unit is returned
- - If a string that contains the number is supplied, it returns it as a number (e.g.: it returns `100` for `'100'`)
- - If you pass a string with a number and a valid unit, the number of equivalent milliseconds is returned

- ## Caught a Bug?
-
- 1. [Fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) this repository to your own GitHub account and then [clone](https://help.github.com/articles/cloning-a-repository/) it to your local device
- 2. Link the package to the global module directory: `npm link`
- 3. Within the module you want to test your local development instance of ms, just link it to the dependencies: `npm link ms`. Instead of the default one from npm, Node.js will now use your clone of ms!
-
- As always, you can run the tests using: `npm test`
