This is a JavaScript time conversion library designed to format millisecond integers as human-readable durations and parse unit-based strings back into total milliseconds. It serves as a utility for managing the transition between machine-readable durations and text representations.
The library provides bidirectional mapping, allowing for the conversion of raw numbers to strings and the parsing of strings containing units like days, hours, and minutes back into numeric millisecond counts. It supports both abbreviated and full written-out time formats.
Features
- Time Conversion Utilities - A utility for transforming strings containing days, hours, and minutes into a total millisecond count.
- Human-Readable Time Delta Formatters - Converts millisecond integers into human-readable duration strings using abbreviated or full formats.
- Duration Formatters - Acts as a formatter that turns large millisecond integers into abbreviated or full written-out time durations.
- Date and Time Libraries - Provides a JavaScript utility library for parsing and formatting millisecond durations.
- Unit Conversions - Utilizes a static lookup table to map time units to their millisecond equivalents for conversion calculations.
- Duration String Parsers - Transforms human-readable strings containing time units into a total millisecond count.
- Bidirectional Time Mappers - Implements paired logic to convert milliseconds to strings and strings back to milliseconds using a shared scale.
- Iterative Remainder Formatting - Implements an iterative subtraction algorithm to break down milliseconds into a readable sequence of time units.
- Regular Expression-Based Parsing - Uses regular expressions to extract numeric values and time unit identifiers from strings.
- Date and Time Utilities - Converts various time formats to milliseconds.
- Dates and Time - Parser and formatter for time duration strings.
- Humanization Utilities - Tiny millisecond conversion utility.
