# kumo.time.parse_duration
{{since('dev')}}
```lua
local time = kumo.time.parse_duration(DURATION)
```
Parses a duration to create a [TimeDelta](TimeDelta.md) object.
`DURATION` can be:
* A signed integer number of seconds
* A signed floating point number of seconds
* A duration string like `5 minutes`
## Example
```lua
local delta = kumo.time.parse_duration '5m'
```
