Duration Extensions

A tiny Rust utility to provide a more concise way to define std::time::Duration

Usage

use duration_helper::DurationHelper;

let half_a_second = 0.5.secs();
let five_hours = 5.hours();
let day_and_a_half = 1.5.days();

Features

• Extensions for:
  • Nanoseconds: nanos()
  • Microseconds: micros()
  • Milliseconds: millis()
  • Seconds: secs()
  • Hours: hours()
  • Days: days()
  • Weeks: weeks()
  • Months (approximated as 30 days): months()
  • Years (approximated as 365 days): years()

DurationHelper - A Rust crate to simplify the creation of Duration objects.

This library provides a set of helper methods to easily construct std::time::Duration objects from integers and floating point numbers. By mimicking the naming conventions from std::time::Duration, it aims to provide an intuitive way to create durations.

Examples

use duration_helper::DurationHelper;

let five_seconds = 5.secs();
let two_hours = 2.hours();
let half_a_day = 0.5.days();

Features

• Convert numbers directly to Duration objects.
• Intuitive naming aligned with std::time::Duration.
• Support for a wide range of time units, from nanoseconds to years.
• Both integer and floating point number types are supported.

Note: This library makes some assumptions, particularly for larger durations. For example, a month is considered as 30 days and a year is considered as 365 days.
