Test status

Examples

var hrt = require('human-readable-time');

console.log(hrt(new Date(0), '%hh%:%mm%'));
// -> 00:00

console.log(hrt(new Date(0), 'Now is %YYYY% year'));
// -> Now is 1970 year

// Default pattern
console.log(hrt(new Date(0)));
// -> 00:00 01/01/1970

// Day/month string patterns
console.log(hrt(new Date(0), 'Today is %day%'));
// -> Today is Thursday

// Relative pattern
console.log(hrt(new Date(0), '%relative% ago'));
// -> 45 years ago

Currying is also supported!

var hrt = require('human-readable-time');

// You can use date, pattern and both in constructor
var clock = new hrt('hh:mm');

console.log(clock(new Date(0)));
// -> 00:00

Docs

Symbol	Meaning
h	hours
m	minutes
s	seconds
D	day of month
M	month
YY	year
day	day of week
month	month of year
relative	relative time
12h	Force AM/PM position

Symbols can be used twice, it will add 0 if number less than 10, for example:

console.log(hrt(new Date(1000) '%s%'));
// -> 1

console.log(hrt(new Date(1000) '%ss%'));
// -> 01

But year can only be used in %YY% or %YYYY% variants.

Options

shortDay - Return first 3 letters of day for %day% pattern
shortTime - Return time in 12-hour format(you can specify %12h% option to force using 'PM'/'AM' in specific place)
