Overview

The Time converter supports conversions between various time units, from the smallest nanosecond to decades, covering all common time measurement needs.

​
Import

import { TimeUnitConverter, TIME_UNIT } from 'univerto/time'

​
Available Units

The TIME_UNIT constant provides the following units:
  • NANOSECOND - Nanosecond (ns)
  • MICROSECOND - Microsecond (µs)
  • MILLISECOND - Millisecond (ms)
  • SECOND - Second (s)
  • MINUTE - Minute (min)
  • HOUR - Hour (h)
  • DAY - Day (d)
  • WEEK - Week (wk)
  • MONTH - Month (mo)
  • YEAR - Year (yr)
  • DECADE - Decade

​
Usage

import { TimeUnitConverter, TIME_UNIT } from 'univerto/time'

// Convert 1 hour to milliseconds
const milliseconds = TimeUnitConverter.from(1, TIME_UNIT.HOUR)
  .to(TIME_UNIT.MILLISECOND)
  .convert()

console.log(milliseconds) // 3600000

​
Common Conversions

​
Programming & Performance

// Milliseconds to seconds (execution time)
const execTime = TimeUnitConverter.from(1500, TIME_UNIT.MILLISECOND)
  .to(TIME_UNIT.SECOND)
  .convert() // 1.5

// Nanoseconds to milliseconds (high-res timing)
const nanoToMs = TimeUnitConverter.from(1_000_000, TIME_UNIT.NANOSECOND)
  .to(TIME_UNIT.MILLISECOND)
  .convert() // 1

// Microseconds to milliseconds
const microToMs = TimeUnitConverter.from(5000, TIME_UNIT.MICROSECOND)
  .to(TIME_UNIT.MILLISECOND)
  .convert() // 5

​
Daily Time Calculations

// Hours to minutes
const workMinutes = TimeUnitConverter.from(8, TIME_UNIT.HOUR)
  .to(TIME_UNIT.MINUTE)
  .convert() // 480

// Days to hours
const hoursInWeek = TimeUnitConverter.from(7, TIME_UNIT.DAY)
  .to(TIME_UNIT.HOUR)
  .convert() // 168

// Weeks to days
const daysInMonth = TimeUnitConverter.from(4, TIME_UNIT.WEEK)
  .to(TIME_UNIT.DAY)
  .convert() // 28

​
Long-term Time Periods

// Years to days (approximate)
const daysInYear = TimeUnitConverter.from(1, TIME_UNIT.YEAR)
  .to(TIME_UNIT.DAY)
  .convert() // 365.25

// Decades to years
const yearsInDecade = TimeUnitConverter.from(2, TIME_UNIT.DECADE)
  .to(TIME_UNIT.YEAR)
  .convert() // 20

// Months to days (approximate)
const monthToDays = TimeUnitConverter.from(6, TIME_UNIT.MONTH)
  .to(TIME_UNIT.DAY)
  .convert() // ~182.625
