ago-i18n v1.0.0

ago-i18n

Fully unit tested module to convert Date objects into human readable relative timestamps, such as '4 minutes ago', 'yesterday', 'tomorrow', or 'in 3 months'.

Adapted from the excellent work of Sebastian Sandqvist available as s-ago

This version is a javascript adaptation (original in typescript) and adds i18n capabilities and a spanish version. It is easily translatable, refer to i18n documentation

Usage

var ago = require("ago-i18n");

// Set locale "en" or "es" (en by default)
ago.locale = "en";

var now = new Date();
var yesterday = new Date(now.getTime() - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
var hoursAgo = new Date(now.getTime() - 6 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
var yesterday = new Date(now.getTime() - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
var tomorrow = new Date(now.getTime() + 6 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
var inSixHours = new Date(now.getTime() + 6 * 60 * 60 * 1000);

// present
ago(now); // 'just now'

// past
ago(yesterday); // 'yesterday'
ago(hoursAgo); // '6 hours ago'

// future
ago(inSixHours); // 'in 6 hours'
ago(tomorrow); // 'tomorrow'

Output is as follows:
