我用js和python写了一个，在两个项目中使用，非常漂亮和简单:一个简单的库(少于2kb)，用于*** time ago语句格式化日期。

简单，小巧，易于使用，并且经过良好测试。

NPM安装timeago.js 从timeago.js导入timeago;//或使用脚本标签 使用API格式。

示例:

var timeagoIns  = timeago();
timeagoIns .format('2016-06-12');

你也可以实时渲染。

var timeagoIns = timeago();
timeagoIns.render(document.querySelectorAll('time'));

我的解决方案。

可读性强且跨浏览器兼容的代码:

@Travis给出的

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。

这是我的版本，它既适用于过去的日期，也适用于未来的日期。 它使用Intl。RelativeTimeFormat提供本地化字符串，而不是硬编码字符串。 您可以将日期作为时间戳、日期对象或可解析的日期字符串传递。

/** * Human readable elapsed or remaining time (example: 3 minutes ago) * @param {Date|Number|String} date A Date object, timestamp or string parsable with Date.parse() * @param {Date|Number|String} [nowDate] A Date object, timestamp or string parsable with Date.parse() * @param {Intl.RelativeTimeFormat} [trf] A Intl formater * @return {string} Human readable elapsed or remaining time * @author github.com/victornpb * @see https://stackoverflow.com/a/67338038/938822 */ function fromNow(date, nowDate = Date.now(), rft = new Intl.RelativeTimeFormat(undefined, { numeric: "auto" })) { const SECOND = 1000; const MINUTE = 60 * SECOND; const HOUR = 60 * MINUTE; const DAY = 24 * HOUR; const WEEK = 7 * DAY; const MONTH = 30 * DAY; const YEAR = 365 * DAY; const intervals = [ { ge: YEAR, divisor: YEAR, unit: 'year' }, { ge: MONTH, divisor: MONTH, unit: 'month' }, { ge: WEEK, divisor: WEEK, unit: 'week' }, { ge: DAY, divisor: DAY, unit: 'day' }, { ge: HOUR, divisor: HOUR, unit: 'hour' }, { ge: MINUTE, divisor: MINUTE, unit: 'minute' }, { ge: 30 * SECOND, divisor: SECOND, unit: 'seconds' }, { ge: 0, divisor: 1, text: 'just now' }, ]; const now = typeof nowDate === 'object' ? nowDate.getTime() : new Date(nowDate).getTime(); const diff = now - (typeof date === 'object' ? date : new Date(date)).getTime(); const diffAbs = Math.abs(diff); for (const interval of intervals) { if (diffAbs >= interval.ge) { const x = Math.round(Math.abs(diff) / interval.divisor); const isFuture = diff < 0; return interval.unit ? rft.format(isFuture ? x : -x, interval.unit) : interval.text; } } }

// examples
fromNow('2020-01-01') // 9 months ago
fromNow(161651684156) // 4 days ago
fromNow(new Date()-1) // just now
fromNow(30000 + Date.now()) // in 30 seconds
fromNow(Date.now() + (1000*60*60*24)) // in 1 day
fromNow(new Date('2029-12-01Z00:00:00.000')) // in 9 years

不使用Intl的替代方法。RelativeTimeFormat

/** * Human readable elapsed or remaining time (example: 3 minutes ago) * @param {Date|Number|String} date A Date object, timestamp or string parsable with Date.parse() * @return {string} Human readable elapsed or remaining time * @author github.com/victornpb * @see https://stackoverflow.com/a/67338038/938822 */ function fromNow(date) { const SECOND = 1000; const MINUTE = 60 * SECOND; const HOUR = 60 * MINUTE; const DAY = 24 * HOUR; const WEEK = 7 * DAY; const MONTH = 30 * DAY; const YEAR = 365 * DAY; const units = [ { max: 30 * SECOND, divisor: 1, past1: 'just now', pastN: 'just now', future1: 'just now', futureN: 'just now' }, { max: MINUTE, divisor: SECOND, past1: 'a second ago', pastN: '# seconds ago', future1: 'in a second', futureN: 'in # seconds' }, { max: HOUR, divisor: MINUTE, past1: 'a minute ago', pastN: '# minutes ago', future1: 'in a minute', futureN: 'in # minutes' }, { max: DAY, divisor: HOUR, past1: 'an hour ago', pastN: '# hours ago', future1: 'in an hour', futureN: 'in # hours' }, { max: WEEK, divisor: DAY, past1: 'yesterday', pastN: '# days ago', future1: 'tomorrow', futureN: 'in # days' }, { max: 4 * WEEK, divisor: WEEK, past1: 'last week', pastN: '# weeks ago', future1: 'in a week', futureN: 'in # weeks' }, { max: YEAR, divisor: MONTH, past1: 'last month', pastN: '# months ago', future1: 'in a month', futureN: 'in # months' }, { max: 100 * YEAR, divisor: YEAR, past1: 'last year', pastN: '# years ago', future1: 'in a year', futureN: 'in # years' }, { max: 1000 * YEAR, divisor: 100 * YEAR, past1: 'last century', pastN: '# centuries ago', future1: 'in a century', futureN: 'in # centuries' }, { max: Infinity, divisor: 1000 * YEAR, past1: 'last millennium', pastN: '# millennia ago', future1: 'in a millennium', futureN: 'in # millennia' }, ]; const diff = Date.now() - (typeof date === 'object' ? date : new Date(date)).getTime(); const diffAbs = Math.abs(diff); for (const unit of units) { if (diffAbs < unit.max) { const isFuture = diff < 0; const x = Math.round(Math.abs(diff) / unit.divisor); if (x <= 1) return isFuture ? unit.future1 : unit.past1; return (isFuture ? unit.futureN : unit.pastN).replace('#', x); } } };
