pretty-ms is a concise Node.js package that converts milliseconds into human-readable strings. It elegantly formats durations ranging from milliseconds to years, incorporating units like seconds, minutes, and hours. Ideal for displaying elapsed times in a user-friendly way, pretty-ms is highly configurable, allowing control over separators, compact display, and abbreviation preferences. It simplifies visualizing durations, making your application's time tracking more understandable for end-users.
The pretty-ms package has releases spread throughout its history, with bursts of activity followed by periods of inactivity. Initial releases were frequent in 2014-2015, with occasional updates in subsequent years. Releases became less frequent after 2020, with only a few versions released until late 2024. No releases in 2025 before September 10.
Pretty-ms npm package downloads show a generally increasing trend from March 2024 to July 2025, peaking above 41 million. August 2025 saw a slight dip, and September 2025 downloads are significantly lower, likely due to the month being incomplete as of today, September 10, 2025.
