duration-ext

Ergonomic extension trait for creating std::time::Duration from numeric literals.

Features

• Zero dependencies
• Supports integer types: u64, u32, usize, i32
• Supports floating point: f64, f32
• Fractional values work intuitively: 1.5.seconds() equals 1500ms
• Negative values safely clamp to zero

Installation

[dependencies]
duration-ext = "1.0"

Usage

use duration_ext::DurationExt;
use std::time::Duration;

// Integer literals
let timeout = 30.seconds();
let delay = 500.millis();
let precision = 100.micros();
let benchmark = 1000.nanos();
let long_timeout = 5.minutes();
let very_long = 2.hours();

// Fractional values (f64/f32)
let animation = 0.3.seconds();      // 300ms
let half_second = 0.5.seconds();    // 500ms
let one_and_half = 1.5.seconds();   // 1500ms
let half_minute = 0.5.minutes();    // 30s

Available Methods

Examples

Animation Timing

use duration_ext::DurationExt;

let fade_in = 0.3.seconds();
let slide_duration = 0.25.seconds();
let bounce_delay = 50.millis();

Timeouts and Delays

use duration_ext::DurationExt;

let connection_timeout = 30.seconds();
let retry_delay = 5.minutes();
let session_expiry = 24.hours();

High-Precision Timing

use duration_ext::DurationExt;

let frame_budget = 16.millis();
let sample_interval = 100.micros();
let spin_wait = 500.nanos();
