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

如果你已经在使用date-fns，你可以使用内置的formatDistance(以前是distanceInWords):

const date1 = new Date(2014, 6, 2);
const date2 = new Date(2015, 0, 1);
const options = { addSuffix: true }
const result = formatDistance(date1, date2, options);
//=> '6 months ago'

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 dateToHowManyAgo(stringDate){
    var currDate = new Date();
    var diffMs=currDate.getTime() - new Date(stringDate).getTime();
    var sec=diffMs/1000;
    if(sec<60)
        return parseInt(sec)+' second'+(parseInt(sec)>1?'s':'')+' ago';
    var min=sec/60;
    if(min<60)
        return parseInt(min)+' minute'+(parseInt(min)>1?'s':'')+' ago';
    var h=min/60;
    if(h<24)
        return parseInt(h)+' hour'+(parseInt(h)>1?'s':'')+' ago';
    var d=h/24;
    if(d<30)
        return parseInt(d)+' day'+(parseInt(d)>1?'s':'')+' ago';
    var m=d/30;
    if(m<12)
        return parseInt(m)+' month'+(parseInt(m)>1?'s':'')+' ago';
    var y=m/12;
    return parseInt(y)+' year'+(parseInt(y)>1?'s':'')+' ago';
}
console.log(dateToHowManyAgo('2019-11-07 19:17:06'));

从现在开始，Unix时间戳参数

function timeSince(ts){
    now = new Date();
    ts = new Date(ts*1000);
    var delta = now.getTime() - ts.getTime();

    delta = delta/1000; //us to s

    var ps, pm, ph, pd, min, hou, sec, days;

    if(delta<=59){
        ps = (delta>1) ? "s": "";
        return delta+" second"+ps
    }

    if(delta>=60 && delta<=3599){
        min = Math.floor(delta/60);
        sec = delta-(min*60);
        pm = (min>1) ? "s": "";
        ps = (sec>1) ? "s": "";
        return min+" minute"+pm+" "+sec+" second"+ps;
    }

    if(delta>=3600 && delta<=86399){
        hou = Math.floor(delta/3600);
        min = Math.floor((delta-(hou*3600))/60);
        ph = (hou>1) ? "s": "";
        pm = (min>1) ? "s": "";
        return hou+" hour"+ph+" "+min+" minute"+pm;
    } 

    if(delta>=86400){
        days = Math.floor(delta/86400);
        hou =  Math.floor((delta-(days*86400))/60/60);
        pd = (days>1) ? "s": "";
        ph = (hou>1) ? "s": "";
        return days+" day"+pd+" "+hou+" hour"+ph;
    }

}

我使用了可能11的旧答案，并添加了Intl。用于翻译的RelativeTimeFormat。

https://stackoverflow.com/a/73331658/673809

function timeAgo (value) { const seconds = Math.floor((new Date().getTime() - new Date(value).getTime()) / 1000) let interval = seconds / 31536000 const rtf = new Intl.RelativeTimeFormat("en", { numeric: 'auto' }) if (interval > 1) { return rtf.format(-Math.floor(interval), 'year') } interval = seconds / 2592000 if (interval > 1) { return rtf.format(-Math.floor(interval), 'month') } interval = seconds / 86400 if (interval > 1) { return rtf.format(-Math.floor(interval), 'day') } interval = seconds / 3600 if (interval > 1) { return rtf.format(-Math.floor(interval), 'hour') } interval = seconds / 60 if (interval > 1) { return rtf.format(-Math.floor(interval), 'minute') } return rtf.format(-Math.floor(interval), 'second') } console.log(timeAgo('2022-08-12 20:50:20'))
