Use this package to easily convert various time formats to milliseconds. Works both in Node.js and in the browser. If a number is supplied to ms, a string with a unit is returned. If a string that contains the number is supplied, it returns it as a number (e.g.: it returns 100 for '100'). If you pass a string with a number and a valid unit, the number of equivalent milliseconds is returned. For added safety, we're using Template Literal Types (added in TypeScript 4.1). This ensures that you don't accidentally pass ms values that it can't process. This won't require you to do anything special in most situations, but you can also import the StringValue type from ms if you need to use it.
