unduration

unduration is a tiny (0.2kb) library that aims to standardize the way we handle durations in JavaScript, aiming to replace things like:

defineHandler('/', {
  ttl: 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24,
  // OR worser
  ttl: 86_400_000
})

With:

defineHandler('/', {
  ttl: '1m',
  // OR
  ttl: {
    minutes: 1,
  }
})

Libraries tend to use different formats for durations, which makes it hard to use them together. unduration aims to solve this problem by providing a standard way to define durations, and utilities to use this standard.
