Constants

When you need a fixed value rather than a function call, Niobe exports constants. There are two kinds.

Unit lengths

The length of one unit, in milliseconds: NANOSECOND, MICROSECOND, MILLISECOND, SECOND, MINUTE, HOUR, DAY and WEEK.

const cacheFor = 6 * HOUR;
// => 21_600_000

const retryAfter = MINUTE / 2;
// => 30_000

Units per unit

How many of one unit fit in the next one up: NANOSECONDS_IN_MICROSECOND, MICROSECONDS_IN_MILLISECOND, MILLISECONDS_IN_SECOND, SECONDS_IN_MINUTE, MINUTES_IN_HOUR, HOURS_IN_DAY and DAYS_IN_WEEK.

const secondsInHour = SECONDS_IN_MINUTE * MINUTES_IN_HOUR;
// => 3_600

The API reference lists every value.
