> Easily format the time from node.js `process.hrtime`. Works with timescales ranging from weeks to nanoseconds.
Please consider following this project's author, [Jon Schlinkert](https://github.com/jonschlinkert), and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.
## Install
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
```sh
$ npm install --save pretty-time
```
## Usage
```js
var pretty = require('pretty-time');
var start = process.hrtime();
var time = process.hrtime(start);
console.log(pretty(time));
//=> 3μs
```
## API
By default, when no time increment is given as the second argument, the closest timescale is used (e.g. _most granular without being less than zero_).
**Examples:**
```js
pretty([1200708, 795428088]);
//=> '2w'
pretty([800708, 795428088]);
//=> '1w'
pretty([400708, 795428088]);
//=> '5d'
pretty([70708, 795428088]);
//=> '20h'
pretty([12708, 795428088]);
//=> '4h'
pretty([3708, 795428088]);
//=> '1h'
pretty([208, 795428088]);
//=> '3m'
pretty([20, 795428088]);
//=> '21s'
pretty([0, 795428088]);
//=> '795ms'
pretty([0, 000428088]);
//=> '428μs'
pretty([0, 000000088]);
//=> '88ns'
pretty([0, 000000018]);
//=> '18ns'
```
### Minimum time increment
_(All of the following examples use `[6740, 795428088]` as the hrtime array.)_
This value is passed as the second argument and determines how granular to make the time.
**Examples**
```js
pretty(time, 'h');
//=> '2h'
pretty(time, 'm');
//=> '1h 52m'
pretty(time, 's');
//=> '1h 52m 21s'
```
**Valid time increments**
Any of the following may be used:
* `ns` | `nano` | `nanosecond` | `nanoseconds`
* `μs` | `micro` | `microsecond` | `microseconds`
* `ms` | `milli` | `millisecond` | `milliseconds`
* `s` | `sec` | `second` | `seconds`
* `m` | `min` | `minute` | `minutes`
* `h` | `hr` | `hour` | `hours`
* `d` | `day` | `days`
* `w` | `wk` | `week` | `weeks`
