This friendly fork of @EvanHahn's HumanizeDuration.js uses the shortest non-ambiguous terms for the units of time.
For example, the following abbreviations for English (en) are used:
| Unit | Abbreviation |
|---|---|
| Year(s) | "y" |
| Month(s) | "mo" |
| Day(s) | "d" |
| Hour(s) | "h" |
| Minute(s) | "m" |
| Second(s) | "s" |
| Millisecond(s) | "ms" |
It also replaces the default spacer of " " with "", and the default delimiter of ", " with " ".
So, what was shown as "1 hour, 2 minutes, 3 seconds", this fork shows as "1h 2m 3s".
When possible, the shortest unit of time will get the shortest abbreviation. For example, in English, the word "minute" is abbreviated as "m", and "month" as "mo".
This fork's parent, EvanHahn/HumanizeDuration.js says "This library is actively maintained but no new features will be added."
ChatGPT and Bard/Gemini were used to provide the abbreviations, so it's possible they halucinated. If you find anything that can be improved, please create an issue, or submit a PR. Thanks.
