我们可以将这个包用于javascript时间之前

 
// Load locale-specific relative date/time formatting rules.
import en from 'javascript-time-ago/locale/en'
 
// Add locale-specific relative date/time formatting rules.
TimeAgo.addLocale(en)
 
// Create relative date/time formatter.
const timeAgo = new TimeAgo('en-US')
 
timeAgo.format(new Date())
// "just now"
 
timeAgo.format(Date.now() - 60 * 1000)
// "a minute ago"
 
timeAgo.format(Date.now() - 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000)
// "2 hours ago"
 
timeAgo.format(Date.now() - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)
// "a day ago"

以上答案适用于旧的java脚本。但它在新的EC6 JavaScript或TypeScript上运行得不太好。下面是一个非常简短和简单的函数，用于最新的JavaScript, TypeScript, AngularJs, ReactJs和NodeJs，根据给定的日期和时间返回时间。

  public timeAgo(date) {
    var seconds = Math.floor((new Date().getTime() - new Date(date).getTime()) / 1000);
    var interval = seconds / 31536000;
    if (interval > 1) return Math.floor(interval) + " years";
    interval = seconds / 2592000;
    if (interval > 1) return Math.floor(interval) + " months";
    interval = seconds / 86400;
    if (interval > 1) return Math.floor(interval) + " days";
    interval = seconds / 3600;
    if (interval > 1) return Math.floor(interval) + " hours";
    interval = seconds / 60;
    if (interval > 1) return Math.floor(interval) + " minutes";
    return Math.floor(seconds) + " seconds";
  }

console.log(timeAgo('2022-08-12 20:50:20'));
// 2 hours ago, as per the given date time string.

也可以使用dayjs的relativeTime插件来解决这个问题。

import * as dayjs from 'dayjs';
import * as relativeTime from 'dayjs/plugin/relativeTime';

dayjs.extend(relativeTime);
dayjs(dayjs('1990')).fromNow(); // x years ago

    const timeHandler = (time: any) => {
      var a = moment(); //now
      var b = moment.utc(time);
      const sec = a.diff(b, 'seconds');
      const minuts = a.diff(b, 'minutes');
      const hours = a.diff(b, 'hours');
      const days = a.diff(b, 'days');
      const weeks = a.diff(b, 'weeks');
      return weeks == 0
        ? days == 0
          ? hours == 0
            ? minuts == 0
              ? sec >= 0 && `${sec}s ago`
              : `${minuts}m ago`
            : `${hours}h ago`
          : `${days}d ago`
        : `${weeks}w ago`;
    };

console.log(timeHandler('2022-11-11T12:11:06.6103808'))

你可以使用Luxon:

DateTime.toRelative()

https://moment.github.io/luxon/api-docs/index.html#datetimetorelative

这里还有一些例子:

const DateTime = luxon.DateTime; // toRelative console.log(DateTime.now().minus({ seconds: 1 }).toRelative()) // 1 second ago console.log(DateTime.now().minus({ seconds: 10 }).toRelative()) // 10 seconds ago console.log(DateTime.now().minus({ days: 2 }).toRelative()) console.log(DateTime.now().minus({ years: 3 }).toRelative()) console.log(DateTime.now().plus({ years: 3 }).toRelative()) console.log(DateTime.now().plus({ days: 2 }).toRelative()) console.log(DateTime.now().plus({ seconds: 1 }).toRelative()) console.log(DateTime.now().plus({ seconds: 10 }).toRelative()) // toRelativeCalendar console.log(DateTime.now().minus({ seconds: 1 }).toRelativeCalendar()) // today console.log(DateTime.now().minus({ seconds: 10 }).toRelativeCalendar()) // today console.log(DateTime.now().minus({ days: 2 }).toRelativeCalendar()) console.log(DateTime.now().minus({ years: 3 }).toRelativeCalendar()) console.log(DateTime.now().plus({ years: 3 }).toRelativeCalendar()) console.log(DateTime.now().plus({ days: 2 }).toRelativeCalendar()) console.log(DateTime.now().plus({ seconds: 1 }).toRelativeCalendar()) console.log(DateTime.now().plus({ seconds: 10 }).toRelativeCalendar()) <script src="https://moment.github.io/luxon/global/luxon.min.js"></script>

function calDateAgo(dString=null){
    //var dString = "2021-04-1 12:00:00";
     
    var d1 = new Date(dString);
    var d2 = new Date();
    var t2 = d2.getTime();
    var t1 = d1.getTime();
    var d1Y = d1.getFullYear();
    var d2Y = d2.getFullYear();
    var d1M = d1.getMonth();
    var d2M = d2.getMonth();
     
    var time_obj = {};
    time_obj.year = d2.getFullYear()-d1.getFullYear();
    time_obj.month = (d2M+12*d2Y)-(d1M+12*d1Y);
    time_obj.week = parseInt((t2-t1)/(24*3600*1000*7));
    time_obj.day = parseInt((t2-t1)/(24*3600*1000));
    time_obj.hour = parseInt((t2-t1)/(3600*1000));
    time_obj.minute = parseInt((t2-t1)/(60*1000));
    time_obj.second = parseInt((t2-t1)/(1000));

    for (const obj_key in time_obj) {
        if(time_obj[obj_key] == 0){
            delete time_obj[obj_key];
        }
    }
    var ago_text = 'just now';

    if(typeof Object.keys(time_obj)[0] != 'undefined'){
        var time_key = Object.keys(time_obj)[0];
        var time_val = time_obj[Object.keys(time_obj)[0]];
        time_key += (time_val > 1) ? 's':'';
        ago_text = time_val+' '+time_key+' ago'; 
    }
    
    return ago_text;
}
