Is there an easy way to use TimeUnit class to specify 30 minutes for example? I found myself doing

val thirty_mins = 30 * 60_000

but there has to be a way to just do TimeUnit.Minutes(30) right?

You mean like

TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.convert(30, TimeUnit.MINUTES)

or

TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(30))

?

Based on your example you probably looking for

TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(30)

Whoups, ms, changed my examples

kotlin.Duration is so pleasant compared to TimeUnit, too bad it's still experimental

if it's a JVM project I'd probably use the Java Duration class

Why don't you like

30.minutes.inMilliseconds

?

I didn't know that's a thing! Thanks!

what's to reason why this returns a double?Seems not to be the correct type for milliseconds. The same for days and all other units

Why not?
