var parse = require('postgres-interval')

// => { hours: 1, minutes: 2, seconds: 3 }

This package parses the default Postgres interval style. If you have changed intervalstyle, you will need to set it back to the default:

set intervalstyle to default;

API

`parse(pgInterval)` -> `interval`

pgInterval

Required
Type: string

A Postgres interval string.

This package is focused on parsing Postgres outputs. It optimizes for performance by assuming that inputs follow the default interval format. It does not perform any validation on the input. If any interval field is not found, its value will be set to 0 in the returned interval.

`interval.toPostgres()` -> `string`

Returns an interval string. This allows the interval object to be passed into prepared statements.

`interval.toISOString()` -> `string`

Returns an ISO 8601 compliant string, for example P0Y0M0DT0H9M0S.

Also available as interval.toISO() for backwards compatibility.

`interval.toISOStringShort()` -> `string`

Returns an ISO 8601 compliant string shortened to minimum length, for example PT9M.
