: Time types for interacting with JavaScript

time

The time package provides interfaces and functions for dealing with time durations.

import * as time from '@execonline-inc/time';

Types

Milliseconds

interface Milliseconds {
  kind: 'milliseconds';
  milliseconds: number;
}

Seconds

interface Seconds {
  kind: 'seconds';
  seconds: number;
}

Minutes

interface Minutes {
  kind: 'minutes';
  minutes: number;
}

Hours

interface Hours {
  kind: 'hours';
  hours: number;
}

Days

interface Days {
  kind: 'days';
  days: number;
}

Time

import { Days, Hours, Milliseconds, Minutes, Seconds } from '@execonline-inc/time';

type Time = Days | Hours | Minutes | Seconds | Milliseconds;

Functions

milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days

These functions accept a number and construct an object of the corresponding type with that quantity.

import * as time from '@execonline-inc/time';

const milliseconds: time.Milliseconds = time.milliseconds(86400000);
const seconds: time.Seconds = time.seconds(86400);
const minutes: time.Minutes = time.minutes(1440);
const hours: time.Hours = time.hours(24);
const days: time.Days = time.days(1);

toMilliseconds, toSeconds, toMinutes, toHours, toDays

These functions accept a Time and convert the quantity of that type to the type that their name states.

import * as time from '@execonline-inc/time';

const milliseconds: time.Milliseconds = time.toMilliseconds(time.minutes(3));
const seconds: time.Seconds = time.toSeconds(time.hours(3));
const minutes: time.Minutes = time.toMinutes(time.days(2));
const hours: time.Hours = time.toHours(time.milliseconds(1000));
const days: time.Days = time.toDays(time.seconds(200));

toJS

This function takes a Time and returns the equivalent millisecond count as a number.

import { minutes, toJS } from '@execonline-inc/time';

const millisecondCount: number = toJS(minutes(1));
