text-time is a tool to help you to parse text that contain time data to seconds
I noticed in my experience that some config contains time in second and like it is an environment variable or a JSON file, I could not write time with this format: 60 * 60 * 24 (means 1 day). This format allows you to easily understand what time it represents, compared to 86400. I thought it will be very fun if in my configuration, I may write 1 day. This project is the purpose.
const TextTime = require('text-time');
const tt = new TextTime();
console.log(tt('4 months')); // 10368000- ⚡ International ! (Supports 🇫🇷 and 🇬🇧)
- change the output format
output: By default, the time is returned in second. You can change the unit like you want.
| unit | EN | FR |
|---|---|---|
| second | second, seconds |
seconde, secondes |
| minute | minute, minutes |
minute, minutes |
| hour | hour, hours |
heure, heures |
| day | day, days |
jour, jours, journée, journées |
| month | month, months |
mois |
| year | year, years |
an, ans, année, années |
