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';
}

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;
    }

}

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)));

我修改了Sky Sanders的版本。Math.floor(…)操作在if块中计算

       var timeSince = function(date) {
            var seconds = Math.floor((new Date() - date) / 1000);
            var months = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];
            if (seconds < 5){
                return "just now";
            }else if (seconds < 60){
                return seconds + " seconds ago";
            }
            else if (seconds < 3600) {
                minutes = Math.floor(seconds/60)
                if(minutes > 1)
                    return minutes + " minutes ago";
                else
                    return "1 minute ago";
            }
            else if (seconds < 86400) {
                hours = Math.floor(seconds/3600)
                if(hours > 1)
                    return hours + " hours ago";
                else
                    return "1 hour ago";
            }
            //2 days and no more
            else if (seconds < 172800) {
                days = Math.floor(seconds/86400)
                if(days > 1)
                    return days + " days ago";
                else
                    return "1 day ago";
            }
            else{

                //return new Date(time).toLocaleDateString();
                return date.getDate().toString() + " " + months[date.getMonth()] + ", " + date.getFullYear();
            }
        }

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

function calDateAgo(dString=null){
    //var dString = "2021-04-1 12:00:00";
     
    var d1 = new Date(dString);
    var d2 = new Date();
    var t2 = d2.getTime();
    var t1 = d1.getTime();
    var d1Y = d1.getFullYear();
    var d2Y = d2.getFullYear();
    var d1M = d1.getMonth();
    var d2M = d2.getMonth();
     
    var time_obj = {};
    time_obj.year = d2.getFullYear()-d1.getFullYear();
    time_obj.month = (d2M+12*d2Y)-(d1M+12*d1Y);
    time_obj.week = parseInt((t2-t1)/(24*3600*1000*7));
    time_obj.day = parseInt((t2-t1)/(24*3600*1000));
    time_obj.hour = parseInt((t2-t1)/(3600*1000));
    time_obj.minute = parseInt((t2-t1)/(60*1000));
    time_obj.second = parseInt((t2-t1)/(1000));

    for (const obj_key in time_obj) {
        if(time_obj[obj_key] == 0){
            delete time_obj[obj_key];
        }
    }
    var ago_text = 'just now';

    if(typeof Object.keys(time_obj)[0] != 'undefined'){
        var time_key = Object.keys(time_obj)[0];
        var time_val = time_obj[Object.keys(time_obj)[0]];
        time_key += (time_val > 1) ? 's':'';
        ago_text = time_val+' '+time_key+' ago'; 
    }
    
    return ago_text;
}
