# NanoTime Gets the current time in nanoseconds or microseconds. In node.js you can get high resolution time with `process.hrtime()`, but it is from an unknown relative time, not epoch. So this library helps that by calculating the difference and adding it to the current time. ## Usage Since javascript can't hold a nanosecond as an INT safely (_Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER_), we return a string instead. ```js const now = require('nano-time'); now(); // '1476742925219947761' (returns a string) now.micro(); // '1476742921398373' now.microseconds(); // alias for now.micro(); ```
