  # ms
  
  ![CI](https://github.com/vercel/ms/workflows/CI/badge.svg)
  
  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
  
  ## Related Packages

  ## 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`
