虽然这个问题是很久以前问过的，但写下这个答案希望它能帮助到一些人。

传递您想要开始计数的日期。使用momentjs的moment().fromNow():(在这里查看更多信息)

getRelativeTime(date) {
    const d = new Date(date * 1000);
    return moment(d).fromNow();
}

如果您想更改日期fromNow提供的信息，请编写自定义相对时间为时刻。

例如，在我自己的例子中，我想打印'one month ago'而不是'a month ago'(由moment(d). fromnow()提供)。在这种情况下，你可以写出下面给出的内容。

moment.updateLocale('en', {
    relativeTime: {
        future: 'in %s',
        past: '%s ago',
        s: 'a few seconds',
        ss: '%d seconds',
        m: '1 m',
        mm: '%d minutes',
        h: '1 h',
        hh: '%d hours',
        d: '1 d',
        dd: '%d days',
        M: '1 month',
        MM: '%d months',
        y: '1 y',
        yy: '%d years'
    }
});

注意:我是在Angular 6中为项目编写代码的

以上答案适用于旧的java脚本。但它在新的EC6 JavaScript或TypeScript上运行得不太好。下面是一个非常简短和简单的函数，用于最新的JavaScript, TypeScript, AngularJs, ReactJs和NodeJs，根据给定的日期和时间返回时间。

  public timeAgo(date) {
    var seconds = Math.floor((new Date().getTime() - new Date(date).getTime()) / 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";
  }

console.log(timeAgo('2022-08-12 20:50:20'));
// 2 hours ago, as per the given date time string.

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); } } }

可读性强且跨浏览器兼容的代码:

@Travis给出的

var DURATION_IN_SECONDS = { epochs: ['year', 'month', 'day', 'hour', 'minute'], year: 31536000, month: 2592000, day: 86400, hour: 3600, minute: 60 }; function getDuration(seconds) { var epoch, interval; for (var i = 0; i < DURATION_IN_SECONDS.epochs.length; i++) { epoch = DURATION_IN_SECONDS.epochs[i]; interval = Math.floor(seconds / DURATION_IN_SECONDS[epoch]); if (interval >= 1) { return { interval: interval, epoch: epoch }; } } }; function timeSince(date) { var seconds = Math.floor((new Date() - new Date(date)) / 1000); var duration = getDuration(seconds); var suffix = (duration.interval > 1 || duration.interval === 0) ? 's' : ''; return duration.interval + ' ' + duration.epoch + suffix; }; alert(timeSince('2015-09-17T18:53:23'));

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'));

将上面的函数更改为

function timeSince(date) {

    var seconds = Math.floor(((new Date().getTime()/1000) - date)),
    interval = Math.floor(seconds / 31536000);

    if (interval > 1) return interval + "y";

    interval = Math.floor(seconds / 2592000);
    if (interval > 1) return interval + "m";

    interval = Math.floor(seconds / 86400);
    if (interval >= 1) return interval + "d";

    interval = Math.floor(seconds / 3600);
    if (interval >= 1) return interval + "h";

    interval = Math.floor(seconds / 60);
    if (interval > 1) return interval + "m ";

    return Math.floor(seconds) + "s";
}

否则它会显示“75分钟”(介于1到2小时之间)。它现在还假定输入日期是Unix时间戳。
