millis
Convert different measures (minutes, hours, etc..) to milliseconds.
---
Because code is read by humans we don't like this.
```javascript
const CACHE_TIMEOUT = 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
const COOKIE_EXPIRE = Date.now() + 1209600000;
```
But we do like this.
```javascript
import { days } from 'millis'
const CACHE_TIMEOUT = days(30)
const COOKIE_EXPIRE = Date.now() + 14 * days();
```
## Install
```sh
npm install --save millis
```
## Import
```javascript
const seconds = require('millis/seconds');
const minutes = require('millis/minutes');
const hours = require('millis/hours');
const days = require('millis/days');
const weeks = require('millis/weeks');
const months = require('millis/months');
const years = require('millis/years');
```
**ES Modules**
```javascript
import { seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years } from 'millis';
```
## Usage
```javascript
const THIRTY_SECONDS = seconds(30);
const SIX_HOURS = 6 * hours();
const TWO_DAYS_AND_TWO_HOURS = 2 * days() + 2 * hours();
```
All methods are available in singular and plural.
```javascript
const year = require('millis/year');
const ONE_YEAR = year();
```
### In seconds
Because often timestamps are in unix format. You might need your duration in seconds instead of milliseconds.
```javascript
const hours = require('millis/hours');
const unix = require('millis/unix');
const ONE_YEAR = 2 * unix() * hours();
```
### Extending Number prototype
If you don't understand the implication of extending a native prototype \[[1](http://perfectionkills.com/extending-native-builtins/)\] \[[2](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14034180/why-is-extending-native-objects-a-bad-practice)\], don't use this.
```javascript
require('millis/register');
const TWO_DAYS = (2).days();
const SIX_HOURS = (6).unix().hours();
```
