How to get readable format of the given number of milliseconds?

js

const formatDuration = (ms) => {
if (ms < 0) ms = -ms;
const time = {
day: Math.floor(ms / 86400000),
hour: Math.floor(ms / 3600000) % 24,
minute: Math.floor(ms / 60000) % 60,
second: Math.floor(ms / 1000) % 60,
millisecond: Math.floor(ms) % 1000,
};
return Object.entries(time)
.filter((val) => val[1] !== 0)
.map(([key, val]) => `${val} ${key}${val !== 1 ? "s" : ""}`)
.join(", ");
};

// Examples
formatDuration(1001); // '1 second, 1 millisecond'
formatDuration(34325055574); // '397 days, 6 hours, 44 minutes, 15 seconds, 574 milliseconds'
