Generate and parse microseconds.
Uses hrtime in node.js, performance.now in browsers. Falls back to Date.now() * 1000.
const μs = require('microseconds')timestamp in microseconds
const now = μs.now()
// 1404398280599786as an object
const parsed = μs.parse(now)
// { microseconds: 786, milliseconds: 599, seconds: 0, minutes: 38, hours: 14, days: 16254 }as a string
parsed.toString()
// "16254 days 14 hours 38 minutes 0 seconds 599 milliseconds 786 microseconds"
μs.parse(1000).toString()
// "1 millisecond"
μs.parse(1).toString()
// "1 microsecond"
μs.parse(4231002).toString()
// "4 seconds 231 milliseconds 2 microseconds"const before = μs.now()
const time = μs.since(before) // time passed
