Human readable interval parser for Node.js/the Browser.
Heavily inspired by matthewmueller/date.
var humanInterval = require('human-interval');
setTimeout(function() {
// Do something crazy!
}, humanInterval('three minutes'));
humanInterval understands all of the following examples:
humanInterval('one minute');
humanInterval('1.5 minutes');
humanInterval('3 days and 4 hours');
humanInterval('3 days, 4 hours and 36 seconds');
Human Interval supports the following units
seconds
minutes
hours
days
years
-- assumes 365 days
Human Interval supports numbers up to ten being written out in English. If you want to extend it, you can do so by adding more keys to the language map. Alternatively you could add support for alternative languages.
var humanInterval = require('human-interval');
humanInterval.languageMap['one-hundred'] = 100
// Adds support for the following:
humanInterval('one-hundred and fifty seconds') // returns 150000
