Functions

accurate_decompose

</>

pub fn accurate_decompose(duration: Duration) -> List(
  #(Int, Unit),
)

Use this if you need very long durations where small inaccuracies could lead to large errors

accurate_new

</>

pub fn accurate_new(values: List(#(Int, Unit))) -> Duration

Use this if you need very long durations where small inaccuracies could lead to large errors

decompose

</>

pub fn decompose(duration: Duration) -> List(#(Int, Unit))

Use this if you need short durations where a year just means 365 days and a month just means 30 days

new

</>

pub fn new(values: List(#(Int, Unit))) -> Duration

Use this if you need short durations where a year just means 365 days and a month just means 30 days

parse

</>

pub fn parse(expression: String) -> Result(Duration, Nil)

You can use this function to create a new duration using expressions like:

 "accurate: 1 Year + 2days + 152M + 25 years + 25secs"

where the units are:

 Year:         y, Y, YEAR, years, Years, ...

 Month:        mon, Month, mONths, ...

 Week:         w, W, Week, weeks, ...

 Day:          d, D, day, Days, ...

 Hour:         h, H, Hour, Hours, ...

 Minute:       m, M, Min, minute, Minutes, ...

 Second:       s, S, sec, Secs, second, Seconds, ...

 MilliSecond:  ms, Msec, mSecs, milliSecond, MilliSecond, ...

Numbers with no unit are considered as microseconds. Specifying accurate: is equivalent to using accurate_new.
