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。

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;
}

以下是对Sky Sander的解决方案的轻微修改，允许日期作为字符串输入，并能够显示像“1分钟”而不是“73秒”这样的跨度

var timeSince = function(date) { if (typeof date !== 'object') { date = new Date(date); } var seconds = Math.floor((new Date() - date) / 1000); var intervalType; var interval = Math.floor(seconds / 31536000); if (interval >= 1) { intervalType = 'year'; } else { interval = Math.floor(seconds / 2592000); if (interval >= 1) { intervalType = 'month'; } else { interval = Math.floor(seconds / 86400); if (interval >= 1) { intervalType = 'day'; } else { interval = Math.floor(seconds / 3600); if (interval >= 1) { intervalType = "hour"; } else { interval = Math.floor(seconds / 60); if (interval >= 1) { intervalType = "minute"; } else { interval = seconds; intervalType = "second"; } } } } } if (interval > 1 || interval === 0) { intervalType += 's'; } return interval + ' ' + intervalType; }; var aDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000; console.log(timeSince(new Date(Date.now() - aDay))); console.log(timeSince(new Date(Date.now() - aDay * 2)));

我修改了Sky Sanders的版本。Math.floor(…)操作在if块中计算

       var timeSince = function(date) {
            var seconds = Math.floor((new Date() - date) / 1000);
            var months = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];
            if (seconds < 5){
                return "just now";
            }else if (seconds < 60){
                return seconds + " seconds ago";
            }
            else if (seconds < 3600) {
                minutes = Math.floor(seconds/60)
                if(minutes > 1)
                    return minutes + " minutes ago";
                else
                    return "1 minute ago";
            }
            else if (seconds < 86400) {
                hours = Math.floor(seconds/3600)
                if(hours > 1)
                    return hours + " hours ago";
                else
                    return "1 hour ago";
            }
            //2 days and no more
            else if (seconds < 172800) {
                days = Math.floor(seconds/86400)
                if(days > 1)
                    return days + " days ago";
                else
                    return "1 day ago";
            }
            else{

                //return new Date(time).toLocaleDateString();
                return date.getDate().toString() + " " + months[date.getMonth()] + ", " + date.getFullYear();
            }
        }

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>
