// CommonJS
var timer = require('tiny-tim') 

Create a timer and start counting!

• unit {String} Unit of time to return (optional, default="s")
• suffix {Boolean} Attach suffix, e.g. unit "s" appends "s" (optional, default=false)

Available units: "ms", "s", "m", "h"

Returns a function that stops the timer and returns the duration:

• as a string if with suffix
• or as a number without

// Time in seconds with suffix
const seconds = timer('s', true)

setTimeout(() => {
  console.log(seconds()) //=> '10s'
}, 10000)

// reuse a timer...

setTimeout(() => {
  console.log(seconds()) //=> '15s'
}, 15000)

// Time milliseconds without suffix
const milliseconds = timer()

setTimeout(() => {
  console.log(milliseconds()) //=> 1000
}, 1000)
