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')));

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'));

这是一个简化版的@sky-sanders的回答。

function timeSince(date) {

  var seconds = Math.floor((new Date() - date) / 1000);
  var divisors = [31536000, 2592000, 86400, 3600, 60, 1]
  var description = ["years", "months", "days", "hours", "minutes", "seconds"]
  var result = [];

  var interval = seconds;

  for (i = 0; i < divisors.length; i++) {
    interval = Math.floor(seconds / divisors[i])
    if (interval > 1) {
      result.push(interval + " " + description[i])
    }
    seconds -= interval * divisors[i]
  }

  return result.join(" ")
}

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

要使用这个，只需复制所有这些代码，并将其导入到你的组件或任何地方，并将你的ISOstring()日期放在:showTimeAgo("2022-06-20T13:42:29-05:00")，你将获得每个场景的自动时间更新。

旁注:我为这个https://www.npmjs.com/package/showtimeago做了一个npm包

由@user1012181提供的ES6版本代码:

const epochs = [

    ['day', 86400],
    ['hour', 3600],

    ['second', 1]

const getDuration = (timeAgoInSeconds) => {
    for (let [name, seconds] of epochs) {
        const interval = Math.floor(timeAgoInSeconds / seconds);
        if (interval >= 1) {
            return {
                interval: interval,
                epoch: name

        }
    }
};

const timeAgo = (date) => {
    const timeAgoInSeconds = Math.floor((new Date() - new Date(date)) / 1000);
    const {interval, epoch} = getDuration(timeAgoInSeconds);
    const suffix = interval === 1 ? '' : 's';
