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.
Usage
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"
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
