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';
}

我一直在寻找这个问题的答案，并且几乎实现了其中一个解决方案，但一位同事提醒我检查react-intl库，因为我们已经在使用它了。

所以在解决方案中…在使用react-intl库的情况下，它们有一个<FormattedRelative>组件。

https://github.com/yahoo/react-intl/wiki/Components#formattedrelative

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)));

 I achieve this by following method

   timeAgo = (date) => {
            var ms = (new Date()).getTime() - date.getTime();
            var seconds = Math.floor(ms / 1000);
            var minutes = Math.floor(seconds / 60);
        var hours = Math.floor(minutes / 60);
        var days = Math.floor(hours / 24);
        var months = Math.floor(days / 30);
        var years = Math.floor(months / 12);
    
        if (ms === 0) {
            return 'Just now';
        } if (seconds < 60) {
            return seconds + ' seconds Ago';
        } if (minutes < 60) {
            return minutes + ' minutes Ago';
        } if (hours < 24) {
            return hours + ' hours Ago';
        } if (days < 30) {
            return days + ' days Ago';
        } if (months < 12) {
            return months + ' months Ago';
        } else {
            return years + ' years Ago';
        }
    
    }
    
        console.log(timeAgo(new Date()));
        console.log(timeAgo(new Date('Jun 27 2020 10:12:19')));
        console.log(timeAgo(new Date('Jun 27 2020 00:12:19')));
        console.log(timeAgo(new Date('May 28 2020 13:12:19')));
        console.log(timeAgo(new Date('May 28 2017 13:12:19')));

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.

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()

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。
