About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.


The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.


When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.


To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

# duration2ms

[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url]

> Convert a duration string to milliseconds.

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/time-duration2ms
```

Alternatively,

- To load the package in a website via a `script` tag without installation and bundlers, use the [ES Module][es-module] available on the [`esm`][esm-url] branch (see [README][esm-readme]).
- If you are using Deno, visit the [`deno`][deno-url] branch (see [README][deno-readme] for usage intructions).
- For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the [Universal Module Definition (UMD)][umd] build available on the [`umd`][umd-url] branch (see [README][umd-readme]).
- To use as a general utility for the command line, install the corresponding [CLI package][cli-section] globally.

The [branches.md][branches-url] file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

## Usage

```javascript
var duration2ms = require( '@stdlib/time-duration2ms' );
```

#### duration2ms( str )

Converts a duration string to milliseconds.

```javascript
var ms = duration2ms( '1d' );
// returns 86400000

ms = duration2ms( '1d2h3m4s5ms' );
// returns 93784005
```

## Notes

- A duration string is a string containing a sequence of time units. A time unit is a nonnegative integer followed by a unit identifier. The following unit identifiers are supported:

- `d`: days
- `h`: hours
- `m`: minutes
- `s`: seconds
- `ms`: milliseconds

For example, the string `1m3s10ms` is a duration string containing three time units: `1m` (1 minute), `3s` (3 seconds), and `10ms` (10 milliseconds). The string `60m` is a duration string containing a single time unit: `60m` (60 minutes).

- Duration strings are case insensitive. For example, the string `1M3S10MS` is equivalent to `1m3s10ms`.

## Examples

```javascript
var duration2ms = require( '@stdlib/time-duration2ms' );

var ms = duration2ms( '5s20ms' );
// returns 5020

ms = duration2ms( '1h' );
// returns 3600000

ms = duration2ms( '1m2s3ms' );
// returns 62003
```

## CLI

## Installation

To use as a general utility, install the CLI package globally

```bash
npm install -g @stdlib/time-duration2ms-cli
```

### Usage

```text
Usage: duration2ms [options] []

Options:

-h, --help Print this message.
-V, --version Print the package version.
--split sep Delimiter for stdin data. Default: '/\\r?\\n/'.
```

### Notes

- If the split separator is a [regular expression][mdn-regexp], ensure that the `split` option is either properly escaped or enclosed in quotes.

```bash
# Not escaped...
$ echo -n $'3s\n5s20ms' | duration2ms --split /\r?\n/

# Escaped...
$ echo -n $'3s\n5s20ms' | duration2ms --split /\\r?\\n/
```

- The implementation ignores trailing delimiters.

### Examples

```bash
$ duration2ms 1s
1000
```

To use as a [standard stream][standard-streams],

```bash
$ echo -n '1s\n2s' | duration2ms
1000
2000
```

By default, when used as a [standard stream][standard-streams], the implementation assumes newline-delimited data. To specify an alternative delimiter, set the `split` option.

```bash
$ echo -n '1s350ms,2s' | duration2ms --split ','
1350
2000
```
