由@user1012181提供的ES6版本代码:

const epochs = [
    ['year', 31536000],
    ['month', 2592000],
    ['day', 86400],
    ['hour', 3600],
    ['minute', 60],
    ['second', 1]
];

const getDuration = (timeAgoInSeconds) => {
    for (let [name, seconds] of epochs) {
        const interval = Math.floor(timeAgoInSeconds / seconds);
        if (interval >= 1) {
            return {
                interval: interval,
                epoch: name
            };
        }
    }
};

const timeAgo = (date) => {
    const timeAgoInSeconds = Math.floor((new Date() - new Date(date)) / 1000);
    const {interval, epoch} = getDuration(timeAgoInSeconds);
    const suffix = interval === 1 ? '' : 's';
    return `${interval} ${epoch}${suffix} ago`;
};

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); } } }

这将显示你过去和以前的时间格式，如“2天前”“从现在开始10分钟”，你可以传递给它一个日期对象，数字时间戳或日期字符串

function time_ago(time) { switch (typeof time) { case 'number': break; case 'string': time = +new Date(time); break; case 'object': if (time.constructor === Date) time = time.getTime(); break; default: time = +new Date(); } var time_formats = [ [60, 'seconds', 1], // 60 [120, '1 minute ago', '1 minute from now'], // 60*2 [3600, 'minutes', 60], // 60*60, 60 [7200, '1 hour ago', '1 hour from now'], // 60*60*2 [86400, 'hours', 3600], // 60*60*24, 60*60 [172800, 'Yesterday', 'Tomorrow'], // 60*60*24*2 [604800, 'days', 86400], // 60*60*24*7, 60*60*24 [1209600, 'Last week', 'Next week'], // 60*60*24*7*4*2 [2419200, 'weeks', 604800], // 60*60*24*7*4, 60*60*24*7 [4838400, 'Last month', 'Next month'], // 60*60*24*7*4*2 [29030400, 'months', 2419200], // 60*60*24*7*4*12, 60*60*24*7*4 [58060800, 'Last year', 'Next year'], // 60*60*24*7*4*12*2 [2903040000, 'years', 29030400], // 60*60*24*7*4*12*100, 60*60*24*7*4*12 [5806080000, 'Last century', 'Next century'], // 60*60*24*7*4*12*100*2 [58060800000, 'centuries', 2903040000] // 60*60*24*7*4*12*100*20, 60*60*24*7*4*12*100 ]; var seconds = (+new Date() - time) / 1000, token = 'ago', list_choice = 1; if (seconds == 0) { return 'Just now' } if (seconds < 0) { seconds = Math.abs(seconds); token = 'from now'; list_choice = 2; } var i = 0, format; while (format = time_formats[i++]) if (seconds < format[0]) { if (typeof format[2] == 'string') return format[list_choice]; else return Math.floor(seconds / format[2]) + ' ' + format[1] + ' ' + token; } return time; } var aDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000; console.log(time_ago(new Date(Date.now() - aDay))); console.log(time_ago(new Date(Date.now() - aDay * 2)));

function timeSince(date) { var seconds = Math.floor((new Date() - date) / 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"; } var aDay = 24*60*60*1000; console.log(timeSince(new Date(Date.now()-aDay))); console.log(timeSince(new Date(Date.now()-aDay*2)));

简单易读版本:

const relativeTimePeriods = [
    [31536000, 'year'],
    [2419200, 'month'],
    [604800, 'week'],
    [86400, 'day'],
    [3600, 'hour'],
    [60, 'minute'],
    [1, 'second']
];

function relativeTime(date, isUtc=true) {
    if (!(date instanceof Date)) date = new Date(date * 1000);
    const seconds = (new Date() - date) / 1000;
    for (let [secondsPer, name] of relativeTimePeriods) {
        if (seconds >= secondsPer) {
            const amount = Math.floor(seconds / secondsPer);
            return `${amount} ${name}${amount ? 's' : ''}s ago`;
        }
    }
    return 'Just now';
