@musement/iso-duration

JS's library created to provide easy API for working with time duration.
Based on ISO 8601.
Inspired by HumanizeDuration and ISO8601-duration.

Installation:

npm i @musement/iso-duration --save

Quick start:

// Import isoDuration and locales
import { isoDuration, en, pl, it } from '@musement/iso-duration'

// Setup locales
//   key - string you want to use in `humanize` function
//   value - IsoDuration i18n object.
isoDuration.setLocales(
  {
    en,
    pl,
    it,
  },
  {
    fallbackLocale: 'en',
  }
)

//Create duration object
const duration = isoDuration("P8DT30M")
// OR
const duration = isoDuration({
  days: 8,
  minutes: 30
})

//Get JS duration object
console.log(duration.parse())
// {
//   weeks: 0,
//   years: 0,
//   months: 0,
//   days: 8,
//   hours: 0,
//   minutes: 30,
//   seconds: 0
// }

//Get duration ISO string
console.log(duration.toString())
// P8DT30M

//Humanize duration 
console.log(duration.humanize('en'))
// 8 days 30 minutes

API:

Duration object supports:

ISO_8601 duration string (PnYnMnDTnHnMnS, PnW)
JS objects:

{
  "weeks": Number,
  "years": Number,
  "months": Number,
  "days": Number,
  "hours": Number,
  "minutes": Number,
  "seconds": Number,
}

Example:

import { isoDuration } from '@musement/iso-duration@'

const durationFromString = isoDuration("P8DT30M")
const durationFromObj = isoDuration({
  days: 8,
  minutes: 30,
})

i18n

All languages which are expected to be available in .humanize method needs to be loaded using isoDuration.setLocales function. Currently, library provides support for languages listed under /src/locales.

import { isoDuration, en, pl, it } from '@musement/iso-duration'

isoDuration.setLocales({
  en,
  pl,
  it,
  'en-GB': en,
  'en-US': en,  
})

Configuration

isoDuration.setLocales can take an option object as second argument (optional):

Key	Type	Description	Default
`fallbackLocale`	String	fallback locale used when an invalid locale is passed to `IsoDuration.humanize`	`undefined`

IsoDuration object:

parse() return DurationObj with all time periods represented as JS object

console.log(isoDuration("P8T30M").parse())
// {
//   weeks: 0,
//   years: 0,
//   months: 0,
//   days: 8,
//   hours: 0,
//   minutes: 30,
//   seconds: 0
// }

toString() returns ISO_8601 string:

console.log(isoDuration("P8T30M").toString())
// P8T30M

humanize(lang: string, config?: HumanizeConfig) returns duration in human readable way:
⚠ Warning ️⚠ - used lang needs to be previously added to the library using isoDuration.setLocales

console.log(isoDuration("P8T30M").humanize('en'))
// 8 hours 30 minutes

HumanizeConfig Object:

{
  largest: number
}

largest - Reduce number of humanized to N the largest units:

console.log(
  isoDuration({
    years: 2,
    months: 0,
    days: 8,
    hours: 20,
    minutes: 30,
    seconds: 15
  }).humanize('en', { largest: 2 })
)
// 2 years 8 days

normalize(date?: Date) returns normalized IsoDuration object:

console.log(isoDuration("PT90M").normalize().parse())
// PT1H30M

This method takes an optional argument date which defines start of duration. It's used to correctly normalize number of days basing on corresponding month's length.
If it's not present normalize function will use current date (new Date()) instead.

Month with 31 days:

console.log("Duration:", isoDuration("P31D").normalize(new Date(2020, 0, 1)).humanize('en'))
//Duration: 31 days

Month with 29 days:

console.log("Duration:", isoDuration("P31D").normalize(new Date(2020, 1, 1)).humanize('en'))
//Duration: 1 month 2 days
