# pretty-ms [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/pretty-ms.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/pretty-ms)

> Convert milliseconds to a human readable string: `1337000000` → `15d 11h 23m 20s`


## Usage

```
$ npm install --save pretty-ms
```

```js
var prettyMs = require('pretty-ms');

prettyMs(1337000000);
//=> '15d 11h 23m 20s'

prettyMs(1337);
//=> '1.3s'

prettyMs(133);
//=> '133ms'

// compact option
prettyMs(1337, {compact: true});
//=> '~1s'

// verbose option
prettyMs(1335669000, {verbose: true});
//=> '15 days 11 hours 1 minute 9 seconds'

// can be useful for time durations
prettyMs(new Date(2014, 0, 1, 10, 40) - new Date(2014, 0, 1, 10, 5))
//=> '35m'
```
