Question: Is there a package like human-interval but in reverse?

[erfanium]

e.g.

humanInterval(60 * 1000); // returns "one minute"

I needed this too and so I copied @erfanium's code example into ChatGPT which provided this function:

function humanInterval(ms) {
  if (ms < 1000) return `${ms} milliseconds`;
  if (ms < 60000) return `${Math.round(ms / 1000)} seconds`;
  if (ms < 3600000) return `${Math.round(ms / 60000)} minutes`;
  if (ms < 86400000) return `${Math.round(ms / 3600000)} hours`;
  return `${Math.round(ms / 86400000)} days`;
}

Which I then used to wrap this package, like so:

const _humanInterval = require('human-interval');

function humanInterval(input) {
  if (typeof input === "number") {
    let ms = input;
    if (ms < 1000) return `${ms} milliseconds`;
    if (ms < 60000) return `${Math.round(ms / 1000)} seconds`;
    if (ms < 3600000) return `${Math.round(ms / 60000)} minutes`;
    if (ms < 86400000) return `${Math.round(ms / 3600000)} hours`;
    return `${Math.round(ms / 86400000)} days`;
  } else {
    return _humanInterval(input)
  }
}

This was a quick solution which worked well to realize the functionality.
