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"

function mdiv(dividend, divisor) {
    return [ Math.floor(dividend/divisor), dividend % divisor ];
}
// pass in milliseconds, gained by Date1.getTime() - Date2.getTime()
// if max_units is two, the result will be, for example
// 2years 12months ago, or 2hours 38minutes ago
// return formated period

function readable_period(ms, max_units=2){
    let [yy, yr] = mdiv(ms, 3.154e10);
    let [mm, mr] = mdiv(yr, 2.628e9);
    let [dd, dr] = mdiv(mr, 8.64e7);
    let [hh, hr] = mdiv(dr, 3.6e6);
    let [tt, ss] = mdiv(hr, 6e4);

    var ymdht = ['year', 'month', 'day', 'hour', 'minute'];
    let res = [];
    [yy, mm, dd, hh, tt].forEach((tis, ii)=>{
        if(res.length === max_units){return};
        if(tis !== 0){
            res.push(tis === 1 ? `${tis}${ymdht[ii]}` : `${tis}${ymdht[ii]}s`);
        }
    });
    return res.length === 0 ? '' : res.join(' ') + ' ago';
}

我一直在寻找这个问题的答案，并且几乎实现了其中一个解决方案，但一位同事提醒我检查react-intl库，因为我们已经在使用它了。

所以在解决方案中…在使用react-intl库的情况下，它们有一个<FormattedRelative>组件。

https://github.com/yahoo/react-intl/wiki/Components#formattedrelative

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>

要使用这个，只需复制所有这些代码，并将其导入到你的组件或任何地方，并将你的ISOstring()日期放在:showTimeAgo("2022-06-20T13:42:29-05:00")，你将获得每个场景的自动时间更新。

旁注:我为这个https://www.npmjs.com/package/showtimeago做了一个npm包

console.log(showTimeAgo("2022-06-20T13:42:29-05:00"));-05:00"))

我用js和python写了一个，在两个项目中使用，非常漂亮和简单:一个简单的库(少于2kb)，用于*** time ago语句格式化日期。

简单，小巧，易于使用，并且经过良好测试。

NPM安装timeago.js 从timeago.js导入timeago;//或使用脚本标签 使用API格式。

示例:

var timeagoIns  = timeago();
timeagoIns .format('2016-06-12');

你也可以实时渲染。

var timeagoIns = timeago();
timeagoIns.render(document.querySelectorAll('time'));
