Use this package to easily convert various time formats to milliseconds.

## Examples

```js
ms('2 days'); // 172800000
ms('1d'); // 86400000
ms('10h'); // 36000000
ms('2.5 hrs'); // 9000000
ms('2h'); // 7200000
ms('1m'); // 60000
ms('5s'); // 5000
ms('1y'); // 31557600000
ms('100'); // 100
ms('-3 days'); // -259200000
ms('-1h'); // -3600000
ms('-200'); // -200
```

### Convert from Milliseconds

```js
ms(60000); // "1m"
ms(2 * 60000); // "2m"
ms(-3 * 60000); // "-3m"
ms(ms('10 hours')); // "10h"
```

### Time Format Written-Out

```js
ms(60000, { long: true }); // "1 minute"
ms(2 * 60000, { long: true }); // "2 minutes"
ms(-3 * 60000, { long: true }); // "-3 minutes"
ms(ms('10 hours'), { long: true }); // "10 hours"
```

## Features

- Works both in [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) and in the browser
- If a number is supplied to `ms`, a string with a unit is returned
- If a string that contains the number is supplied, it returns it as a number (e.g.: it returns `100` for `'100'`)
- If you pass a string with a number and a valid unit, the number of equivalent milliseconds is returned

## Caught a Bug?

1. [Fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) this repository to your own GitHub account and then [clone](https://help.github.com/articles/cloning-a-repository/) it to your local device
2. Link the package to the global module directory: `npm link`
3. Within the module you want to test your local development instance of ms, just link it to the dependencies: `npm link ms`. Instead of the default one from npm, Node.js will now use your clone of ms!

As always, you can run the tests using: `npm test`
