Api token expiresIn expect milliseconds instead of secconds

Docs says that expiresIn
property should be in seconds:
But in real it awaits for milliseconds:
Line 125 in 946e730
I'm not sure where better to address this issue here or in repo with docs, but in my opinion it would be more user friendly to use seconds. For example, Redis setex, which is used under the hood (if storage is Redis), is using a seconds.
Alright, checked the codebase and docs both.
The docs you have shared links to the return value of auth.generate
and not the config accepted. So basically, you are looking at the config property expiresIn
and confusing it with the return value of auth.generate
method
Feel free to reopen the issue if you have any questions
The docs are wrong for both ways of specify the value of expiresIn.
For numbers, it says seconds instead of milliseconds but doc says:
https://docs.adonisjs.com/guides/auth/api-tokens-guard#managing-tokens-expiry
for string it uses this format as an example: '7days' or '30mins' and is wrong according to ms documentation:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/ms
The right way of set it is including a white space '7 days' or '30 mins'
I have tested both cases. Please update the docs.
You have not even quoted the docs and asking me to fix it 🤷♂️
