Juration.js

A simple natural language duration parser written in javascript. Time ranges (in seconds) can also be converted to human readable strings. Check out the demo.

Inspired by chronic, and chronic_duration.

Fork changes

Added node.js package
Multilanguage support

TODO

Make juration a function (so that settings aren't shared among instances)

Usage

Client-side:

<script src="juration.js"></script>

Node.js:

var juration = require('juration');

Parsing

juration.parse("3mins 5secs"); // returns 185

Stringifying

juration.stringify(185); // returns "3 mins 5 secs"
juration.stringify(185, { format: 'small' }); // returns "3 mins 5 secs"
juration.stringify(185, { format: 'micro' }); // returns "3m 5s"
juration.stringify(185, { format: 'long' });  // returns "3 minutes 5 seconds"
juration.stringify(185, { format: 'long', units: 1 });  // returns "3 minutes"
juration.stringify(3601, { format: 'micro', units: 2 });  // returns "1h"

Changing language

Client-side:

<script src="../languages/it-IT.js"></script>

Node.js

juration.setLanguage('it-IT');

Examples

Parse-able strings:

12.4 secs
3 mins 4 sec
2 hrs 20 min
2h20min
6 mos 1 day
47 yrs 6 mos and 4d
3 weeks and 2 days

Todo

Add customisable default unit option, e.g. juration.parse("10", { defaultUnit: 'minutes' }) // returns 600
Parse chrono format i.e. hh:mm:ss
