`ms`

[ofershap]

ms has 255M weekly downloads and is a dependency of debug, jsonwebtoken, mongoose, and others. It works fine but has a few gaps:

• no native TypeScript types (needs @types/ms)
• no ESM exports
• returns undefined on invalid input instead of throwing
• can't parse compound durations like "1h 30m"

ms-tiny is a drop-in replacement that addresses these. 833 bytes gzipped, zero deps, ships ESM + CJS.
