time.Duration converts a given number into a time.Duration structure so you can access its fields. E.g. you can perform time operations on the returned time.Duration value:

{{ printf "There are %.0f seconds in one day." (duration "hour" 24).Seconds }}
<!-- Output: There are 86400 seconds in one day. -->

Make your code simpler to understand by using a chained pipeline:

{{ mul 7.75 60 | duration "minute" }} → 7h45m0s
{{ mul 120 60 | mul 1000 | duration "millisecond" }} → 2h0m0s

You have to specify a time unit for the number given to the function. Valid time units are:

Duration Valid time units
hours hour, h
minutes minute, m
seconds second, s
milliseconds millisecond, ms
microseconds microsecond, us, µs
nanoseconds nanosecond, ns
