It's not always clear what does number or string type mean.
Let's imagine you are describing setTimeout
declare function setTimeout(handler: TimerHandler, timeout?: number, ...arguments: any[]): number;In't not clear what number to pass in timeout. Let's refactor it
type Milliseconds = number;
declare function setTimeout(handler: TimerHandler, timeout?: Milliseconds, ...arguments: any[]): number;Now it's much more clear, and user will see hints when typing this function in IDE.
So this library is just a set of such aliases. For now it contains
export type Milliseconds = number;
export type Seconds = number;
export type Minutes = number;
export type Hours = number;
export type Days = number;
export type Months = number;
export type Years = number;
export type Centuries = number;So use it to clarify your inputs!
