Millisecond crate

A better way to format and display duration, which converts 33023448000ms to 1y 17d 5h 10m 48s or relatively timestamp ofabout a year ago.

Install

In your Rust project's root directory run:

$ cargo add millisecond

Example

// Activate and bring the crate into scope
use millisecond::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    // Obtain a duration instance
    let dur = core::time::Duration::from_millis(33_023_448_000);

    println!("{}", dur.pretty());
    // displays: 1y 17d 5h 10m 48s

    println!("{}", dur.pretty_with(&MillisecondOption::long()));
    // displays: 1 year 17 days 5 hours 10 minutes 48 seconds

    println!("{} ago", dur.relative());
    // displays: about a year ago

    // the previous solution still works
    let ms = Millisecond::from_millis(33_023_448_000);
    println!("{}", ms.pretty());
    // displays: 1y 17d 5h 10m 48s
}

Options

Customize the parser and the output format using the MillisecondOption struct.

All options have default value unless specified

Options shorthand

In order to easily create a MillisecondOption instance, you can use the MillisecondOption::default() method:

let option = MillisecondOption {
    days_instead_of_years: true,
    ..MillisecondOption::default()
};
