Hi,

I have a 1180 ms duration and when I give a toStr it gives me obviously "1180ms". But I want to get "1second 180 ms" and if I have 61000 ms I want to display "1 min 1 second"

Is is possible to have it without not defining ad-hoc function?

Thanks, Xan.

Try toLocale

It does not works. It returns "1180 ms" result too.

You could try porting one of the following from Ruby to Fantom:

• Rails distance_of_time_in_words (click the Source link)
• English-friendly timespan

You'll need to add code to handle milliseconds.

I really think Duration.toLocale will do what you want and it does proper localization. You have one specific example where it doesn't do exactly what you want, but that is because anything under 2sec is displayed in milliseconds. After that it starts rounding to the second. You should try it out with other values:

fansh> 1200ms.toLocale
1200ms
fansh> 2300ms.toLocale
2sec
fansh> 63sec.toLocale
1min 3sec
fansh> 123min.toLocale
2hr 3min
fansh> 27.2hr.toLocale
1day 3hr 12min

Why under 2 sec this has this behaviour? Is it not logic?

Xan.
