durationToMilliseconds()
Home > @backstage/types > durationToMilliseconds
Converts a HumanDuration to milliseconds.
Signature:
function durationToMilliseconds(duration: HumanDuration): number;
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| duration | HumanDuration | A human friendly duration object. |
Returns:
number
The number of approximate milliseconds that the duration represents.
Remarks
Note that this conversion by definition is an approximation in the absence of an anchor to a point in time and time zone, as the number of milliseconds is not constant for many units. So the conversion assumes 365-day years, 30-day months, and fixed 24-hour days.
