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;
}

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"

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。

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)));

这是对国际的另一种看法。RelativeTimeFormat

支持过去日期和将来日期 同时接受字符串和日期 易于添加自定义范围(编辑范围) 可以很容易地翻译为Intl.RelativeTimeFormat('ua')

console.log(timeAgo('2021-08-09T15:29:01+0000')); function timeAgo(input) { const date = (input instanceof Date) ? input : new Date(input); const formatter = new Intl.RelativeTimeFormat('en'); const ranges = { years: 3600 * 24 * 365, months: 3600 * 24 * 30, weeks: 3600 * 24 * 7, days: 3600 * 24, hours: 3600, minutes: 60, seconds: 1 }; const secondsElapsed = (date.getTime() - Date.now()) / 1000; for (let key in ranges) { if (ranges[key] < Math.abs(secondsElapsed)) { const delta = secondsElapsed / ranges[key]; return formatter.format(Math.round(delta), key); } } }

这些答案大多不能解释复数(例如:复数)。当我们想要“1分钟前”时，用“1分钟前”)

const MINUTE = 60;
const HOUR = MINUTE * 60;
const DAY = HOUR * 24;
const WEEK = DAY * 7;
const MONTH = DAY * 30;
const YEAR = DAY * 365;

function getTimeAgo(date) {
  const secondsAgo = Math.round((Date.now() - Number(date)) / 1000);

  if (secondsAgo < MINUTE) {
    return secondsAgo + ` second${secondsAgo !== 1 ? "s" : ""} ago`;
  }

  let divisor;
  let unit = "";

  if (secondsAgo < HOUR) {
    [divisor, unit] = [MINUTE, "minute"];
  } else if (secondsAgo < DAY) {
    [divisor, unit] = [HOUR, "hour"];
  } else if (secondsAgo < WEEK) {
    [divisor, unit] = [DAY, "day"];
  } else if (secondsAgo < MONTH) {
    [divisor, unit] = [WEEK, "week"];
  } else if (secondsAgo < YEAR) {
    [divisor, unit] = [MONTH, "month"];
  } else {
    [divisor, unit] = [YEAR, "year"];
  }

  const count = Math.floor(secondsAgo / divisor);
  return `${count} ${unit}${count > 1 ? "s" : ""} ago`;
}

然后你可以这样使用它:

const date = new Date();
console.log(getTimeAgo(date));
// 1 second ago
// 2 seconds ago
// 1 minute ago
// 2 minutes ago
// ...
