I added an option called maxTersity which allows the limiting of the number of time epochs that are being printed. This is useful if you have limited space for the time string and you don't care about losing the granularity of smaller time epochs.

I also added Hebrew locale. It works 95% but due to syntactic differences in the Hebrew language support for the other 5% will require some architectural changes. I will make these in a separate pull request

Right now if you specify for instance DurationTersity.minute but the Duration is less than 1 day, printDuration will print hours, minutes and seconds. This commit ensures that printDuration will always only print up to the limit set in the tersity parameter.

I'm adding support for Czech language.

I hope you don't mind creating enum CzechDurationLocalePluralization as using switch statement feels more natural to me.

On the other hand, this enum will be available to consumers because it's public API of library now, if it's a problem I can just replace it with if-else statements instead.

If I try to parse the duration '19w, 3d, 5m' I got an exception "Invalid duration format". But if I try to parse the duration '138d, 5m' I got the correct result.

The error is because the regex does not expect the 'w' format: final match = RegExp(r'^(\d+)(d|h|m|s|ms|us)$').matchAsPrefix(part);

So I can go from a duration to a text but I can't go from a text to a duration.

Can you fix this please?

Thank you!

Looks like printDuration has a debug logging in. See here

Reproduced below

String printDuration(Duration duration,
    {DurationTersity tersity = DurationTersity.second,
    DurationLocale locale = const EnglishDurationLocale(),
    String spacer,
    String delimiter,
    String conjugation,
    bool abbreviated = false}) {
  final String fmt = prettyDuration(duration,
      tersity: tersity,
      locale: locale,
      spacer: spacer,
      delimiter: delimiter,
      conjunction: conjugation,
      abbreviated: abbreviated);
  print(fmt);
  return fmt;
}

Support "uppperTersity"

Example: If you have Duration(hours: 25), you may want it to print hours 25 instead of days 1 hours 24

Adding an "upperTersity" option would enable such behavior

To me from the documentation, it is not clear what format the parse function supports. I'm currently interested into that function but I'm holding back as the documentation is not clear.

I need to print duration as a year, month and week too, I just add these features to your package and update the version, the changelog of the package. pub publish is enough 💯

I need these features so can you publish the new version of the package as soon as possible by the way, Would you consider adding me as an uploader to be able to upload new features?

First of all thanks for the great plugin. Second of all is there a way to get the duration without printing it to the terminal?

It is super annoying doing debug with this especially if i'm checking for the duration every second. That means a print statement in every second.

Thanks again for plugin it just needs some more locales. If you need help with the Arabic locale send me a message.

Hi, I just added Japanese locale.

and I added defaultSpacer to DurationLocale for CJK locale. It should be no space between value and unit on CJK locale.

const dur = Duration(days: 5, hours: 23);

prettyDuration(dur, locale: ChineseSimplifiedDurationLocale())
// current: '5 日 23 小时'
// changed: '5日 23小时'

prettyDuration(dur, locale: JapaneseDurationLocale())
// current: '5 日 23 時間'
// changed: '5日 23時間'

prettyDuration(dur, locale: KoreanDurationLocale())
// current: '5 일 23 시간'
// changed: '5일 23시간'

Thank you!

I am trying to limit the upperTersity to days, but its taking the default value of weeks. The code is -

final playTime = Duration(minutes: value); // value = 14966
final humanizedTime = printDuration(
    playTime,
    abbreviated: true,
    tersity: DurationTersity.hour,
    upperTersity: DurationTersity.day,
); // output = 1w, 3d, 9h

I have tested the tersity param and its working. upperTersity is not working with any value of DurationTersity, it is always giving weeks

Dart 2.18, Windows 10 64-bit This code:

import "package:duration/duration.dart";
void main() {
	print(prettyDuration(Duration(seconds: -1), abbreviated: false));
}

prints: 59 seconds
when I run it, instead of something like 1 second ago.

I fixed wrong expressions. these shouldn't be abbreviated.

时 / 時 / 시 are units used to indicate specific time. (e.g. at 1 o' clock)

小时 / 小時 / 時間 / 시간 are units used to indicate duration. (e.g. it takes 1 hour.)

This code snippet produces 5h, 33min, 20s. I expected min to be abbreviated to m.

  prettyDuration(
    Duration(milliseconds: 20000000),
    abbreviated: true,
  );

• default is 2 months as until that a timespan in weeks is sufficient (totally based on my personal gut feeling)
• calculates with a rough average of 365 / 12 = 30.42 days per month
