@Travis给出的

var DURATION_IN_SECONDS = { epochs: ['year', 'month', 'day', 'hour', 'minute'], year: 31536000, month: 2592000, day: 86400, hour: 3600, minute: 60 }; function getDuration(seconds) { var epoch, interval; for (var i = 0; i < DURATION_IN_SECONDS.epochs.length; i++) { epoch = DURATION_IN_SECONDS.epochs[i]; interval = Math.floor(seconds / DURATION_IN_SECONDS[epoch]); if (interval >= 1) { return { interval: interval, epoch: epoch }; } } }; function timeSince(date) { var seconds = Math.floor((new Date() - new Date(date)) / 1000); var duration = getDuration(seconds); var suffix = (duration.interval > 1 || duration.interval === 0) ? 's' : ''; return duration.interval + ' ' + duration.epoch + suffix; }; alert(timeSince('2015-09-17T18:53:23'));

您可能需要查看humanized_time_span: https://github.com/layam/js_humanized_time_span

它与框架无关，并且完全可定制。

只需下载/包含脚本，然后你可以这样做:

humanized_time_span("2011-05-11 12:00:00")  
   => '3 hours ago'

humanized_time_span("2011-05-11 12:00:00", "2011-05-11 16:00:00)  
   => '4 hours ago'

甚至是这样:

var custom_date_formats = {
  past: [
    { ceiling: 60, text: "less than a minute ago" },
    { ceiling: 86400, text: "$hours hours, $minutes minutes and $seconds seconds ago" },
    { ceiling: null, text: "$years years ago" }
  ],
  future: [
    { ceiling: 60, text: "in less than a minute" },
    { ceiling: 86400, text: "in $hours hours, $minutes minutes and $seconds seconds time" },
    { ceiling: null, text: "in $years years" }
  ]
}

humanized_time_span("2010/09/10 10:00:00", "2010/09/10 10:00:05", custom_date_formats) 
  => "less than a minute ago"

Lokely使用的一个简短版本:

const intervals = [
  { label: 'year', seconds: 31536000 },
  { label: 'month', seconds: 2592000 },
  { label: 'day', seconds: 86400 },
  { label: 'hour', seconds: 3600 },
  { label: 'minute', seconds: 60 },
  { label: 'second', seconds: 1 }
];

function timeSince(date) {
  const seconds = Math.floor((Date.now() - date.getTime()) / 1000);
  const interval = intervals.find(i => i.seconds < seconds);
  const count = Math.floor(seconds / interval.seconds);
  return `${count} ${interval.label}${count !== 1 ? 's' : ''} ago`;
}

在这种情况下可能有点过头了，但如果有机会，moment.js真的很棒!

js是一个javascript datetime库，在这种情况下使用它，你需要做:

moment(yourdate).fromNow()

http://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/fromnow/

2018附录:Luxon是一个新的现代图书馆，可能值得一看!

2022年附录:Day.js是一个较新的库，比Luxon轻80%左右，具有类似的功能。

我使用这个包:javascript-time-ago

设置TimeAgo 导入TimeAgo 从javascript-time-ago/locale/en.json导入en TimeAgo.addDefaultLocale (en) 写一个函数 // twitter-now是twitter风格。查看文档以获得更多选项 const clockToDateString = (timestamp) => timeAgo。format(new Date(timestamp.toNumber() * 1000)， 'twitter-now') 在dom中使用它 < div > {clockToDateString (post.postTime)} < / div >

我的尝试是基于其他的答案。

function timeSince(date) {
    let minute = 60;
    let hour   = minute * 60;
    let day    = hour   * 24;
    let month  = day    * 30;
    let year   = day    * 365;

    let suffix = ' ago';

    let elapsed = Math.floor((Date.now() - date) / 1000);

    if (elapsed < minute) {
        return 'just now';
    }

    // get an array in the form of [number, string]
    let a = elapsed < hour  && [Math.floor(elapsed / minute), 'minute'] ||
            elapsed < day   && [Math.floor(elapsed / hour), 'hour']     ||
            elapsed < month && [Math.floor(elapsed / day), 'day']       ||
            elapsed < year  && [Math.floor(elapsed / month), 'month']   ||
            [Math.floor(elapsed / year), 'year'];

    // pluralise and append suffix
    return a[0] + ' ' + a[1] + (a[0] === 1 ? '' : 's') + suffix;
}
