Very frequently we have the situation that we want to validate a unix timestamp. Validating here means that it is recognizable as being within an accepted timeFrame.
Therefore we need to round it to such a specific (definable) timeFrame, and accept some inaccurracy. Here we accept the next and the previous timeFrame as well.
This package does exactly this.
- ESM importability
Current git version:
npm install git+https://github.com/JhonnyJason/validatabletimestamp-output.git
Npm Registry
npm install validatabletimestamp
- Specify the size of your timeframe you are willing to accept via
setTimeFrameMS(yourMS) - Use it to create a validatabletimestamp via
create() - Use it to validate said timestamp via
assertValidity(stamp)
import { setTimeFrameMS, create, assertValidity } from "validatabletimestamp"
# setting the timeFrame to 20s - default is 180s
setTimeFrameMS(20000)
# create the timestamp
stamp = create()
# validate it - definitely is fine here
assertValidity(stamp)
## wait 20s
# validate it - also should be fine here
assertValidity(stamp)
## wait 20s
# validate it - now throws "Invalid Timestamp!"
assertValidity(stamp)
- Waiting for ideas on improvement
All sorts of inputs are welcome, thanks!
