A simple extension to TimeInterval that allows you to just use the standard units of time rather than all that 60 * 60 jazz with APIs that use TimeInterval.
import Foundation
extension TimeInterval {
var seconds: TimeInterval { self }
var minutes: TimeInterval { self * 60 }
var hours: TimeInterval { self * 3_600 }
var days: TimeInterval { self * 86_400 }
var weeks: TimeInterval { self * 604_800 }
var months: TimeInterval { self * 2_628_000 }
static func minutes(_ numberOfMinutes: Int) -> TimeInterval {
60 * Double(numberOfMinutes)
}
}
print("42 seconds == \(42.seconds) seconds. Duh.")
print("1138 minutes == \(1138.minutes) seconds")
print("119 hours == \(119.hours) seconds")
print("9 days == \(9.days) seconds")
print("1 weeks == \(1.weeks) seconds")
print("11 months == \(11.months) seconds")
