@toreda/time

Fast & easy time math and time unit conversions.

Use Cases

• Time since date
  • Get seconds or any other time unit since date, datetime, timestamp, or unix timestamp.
• Time until date
  • Get seconds or other time unit until date, datetime, timestamp, or unix timestamp.
• Now
  • Get current timestamp (now) in seconds or other time unit.
• Now (with offset)`
  • Get current timestamp (now) with an offset in the past or future.
• DateTime Parsing
  • Parse strings as DateTime strings.
  • Convert to any other time unit.
• Unix Timestamps
  • Parse Unix Timstamps (seconds) & convert to other time units.
  • Convert DateTime strings to Unix Timestamp.

Highlights

• TypeScript Native
  • All types included with package.
  • No separate @types package eliminates sync issues between types and the library.
• Minimalist
  • Small set of library functions for time calculations.
  • Get what you need without extra bloat.
• Lightweight
  • 253 kB unpacked.
• Modern Alternative
  • Modern replacement for the excellent moment.js (no longer maintained).
• Tree-Shaking
  • Package optimizations helps modern bundlers drop unused code.

# Usage

## Time Objects

**Create Time object**
```typescript
import type {Time} from '@toreda/time';
import {timeMake} from '@toreda/time';

// Create time object in unit 'seconds' with value 0.
const time = timeMake('s', ,0);

Set Time

// Set time using a Unix Timestamp (in seconds)
time.set(1635577204);

// Set using ISO-8601 string
time.set('2021-10-30T06:13:33+00:00');

Set current time (now)

// Set Time to current time.
time.setNow();

Timestamps

Unix Timestamp

Create unix timestamp

import {unixTimestampNow} from '@toreda/time';

// Returns current unix timestamp in seconds at time of call.
const now = unixTimestampNow();

Set current time using Unix Timestamp

import type {Time} from '@toreda/time';
import {timeMake, unixTimestampNow} from '@toreda/time';
const now = unixTimestampNow();

const time = timeMake('s');
time.set(now);

Validation

Check if string is a valid & supported time unit

import {timeUnitSupported} from '@toreda/time';

// Outputs: 'supported: true'
console.info('supported: ' + timeUnitSupported('s'));

// Outputs: 'supported: true'
console.info('supported: ' + timeUnitSupported('w'));

// Outputs: 'supported: false'
console.info('supported: ' + timeUnitSupported());

// Outputs: 'supported: false'
console.info('supported: ' + timeUnitSupported({}));

// Outputs: 'supported: false'
console.info('supported: ' + timeUnitSupported('???'));

Check if object is a Time object

import {timeValid, timeNow} from '@toreda/time';
const now = timeNow();

// Outputs `is valid: true`
console.log('is valid: ' + timeValid(time));

// Outputs `is valid: false`
console.log('is valid: ' + timeValid({}));

// Outputs `is valid: false`
console.log('is valid: ' + timeValid(null));

// Outputs `is valid: false`
console.log('is valid: ' + timeValid(undefined));
