给定特定的DateTime值,如何显示相对时间,例如:

2小时前3天前一个月前


当前回答

通过在客户端执行此逻辑,可以减少服务器端负载。在一些Digg页面上查看源代码以供参考。它们让服务器发出一个由Javascript处理的历元时间值。这样,您就不需要管理最终用户的时区。新的服务器端代码类似于:

public string GetRelativeTime(DateTime timeStamp)
{
    return string.Format("<script>printdate({0});</script>", timeStamp.ToFileTimeUtc());
}

您甚至可以在那里添加一个NOSCRIPT块,然后执行ToString()。

我知道你的有点长。然而,随着对“昨天”和“几年”的支持,它似乎确实更为有力。但根据我的经验,当使用此选项时,用户最有可能在前30天内查看内容。只有真正的铁杆人才会在这之后出现。所以,我通常选择保持简短。

这是我目前在我的一个网站上使用的方法。这只返回相对的日期、小时和时间。然后用户必须在输出中加上“ago”。

public static string ToLongString(this TimeSpan time)
{
    string output = String.Empty;

    if (time.Days > 0)
        output += time.Days + " days ";

    if ((time.Days == 0 || time.Days == 1) && time.Hours > 0)
        output += time.Hours + " hr ";

    if (time.Days == 0 && time.Minutes > 0)
        output += time.Minutes + " min ";

    if (output.Length == 0)
        output += time.Seconds + " sec";

    return output.Trim();
}

使用解构主义和Linq得到“n(最大时间单位)前”的“一行”:

TimeSpan timeSpan = DateTime.Now - new DateTime(1234, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9);

(string unit, int value) = new Dictionary<string, int>
{
    {"year(s)", (int)(timeSpan.TotalDays / 365.25)}, //https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year#Intercalation
    {"month(s)", (int)(timeSpan.TotalDays / 29.53)}, //https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Month
    {"day(s)", (int)timeSpan.TotalDays},
    {"hour(s)", (int)timeSpan.TotalHours},
    {"minute(s)", (int)timeSpan.TotalMinutes},
    {"second(s)", (int)timeSpan.TotalSeconds},
    {"millisecond(s)", (int)timeSpan.TotalMilliseconds}
}.First(kvp => kvp.Value > 0);

Console.WriteLine($"{value} {unit} ago");

你在786年前

当前年份和月份,如

TimeSpan timeSpan = DateTime.Now - new DateTime(2020, 12, 6, 7, 8, 9);

您4天前收到

实际日期,比如

TimeSpan timeSpan = DateTime.Now - DateTime.Now.Date;

9小时前到达

这里是Jeffs Script for PHP的重写:

define("SECOND", 1);
define("MINUTE", 60 * SECOND);
define("HOUR", 60 * MINUTE);
define("DAY", 24 * HOUR);
define("MONTH", 30 * DAY);
function relativeTime($time)
{   
    $delta = time() - $time;

    if ($delta < 1 * MINUTE)
    {
        return $delta == 1 ? "one second ago" : $delta . " seconds ago";
    }
    if ($delta < 2 * MINUTE)
    {
      return "a minute ago";
    }
    if ($delta < 45 * MINUTE)
    {
        return floor($delta / MINUTE) . " minutes ago";
    }
    if ($delta < 90 * MINUTE)
    {
      return "an hour ago";
    }
    if ($delta < 24 * HOUR)
    {
      return floor($delta / HOUR) . " hours ago";
    }
    if ($delta < 48 * HOUR)
    {
      return "yesterday";
    }
    if ($delta < 30 * DAY)
    {
        return floor($delta / DAY) . " days ago";
    }
    if ($delta < 12 * MONTH)
    {
      $months = floor($delta / DAY / 30);
      return $months <= 1 ? "one month ago" : $months . " months ago";
    }
    else
    {
        $years = floor($delta / DAY / 365);
        return $years <= 1 ? "one year ago" : $years . " years ago";
    }
}    

文森特接受的答案做出了许多武断的决定。为什么45分钟舍入为一小时,而45秒不舍入为一分钟?在年和月的计算中,它的圈复杂度增加了,这使得遵循逻辑变得更加复杂。它假设TimeSpan是相对于过去(2天前)的,而它很可能是在未来(2天后)。它定义了不必要的常量,而不是使用TimeSpan.TicksPerSecond等。

此实现解决了上述问题,并更新了语法以使用开关表达式和关系模式

public static string ToNaturalLanguage(this TimeSpan @this)
{
    const int daysInWeek = 7;
    const int daysInMonth = 30;
    const int daysInYear = 365;
    const long threshold = 100 * TimeSpan.TicksPerMillisecond;
    @this = @this.TotalSeconds < 0
        ? TimeSpan.FromSeconds(@this.TotalSeconds * -1)
        : @this;
    return (@this.Ticks + threshold) switch
    {
        < 2 * TimeSpan.TicksPerSecond => "a second",
        < 1 * TimeSpan.TicksPerMinute => @this.Seconds + " seconds",

        _ => (@this.Days / daysInYear).ToString("F0") + " years"
    };

可以使用NUnit对其进行如下测试:

[TestCase("a second", 1)]
[TestCase("2 seconds", 2)]
[TestCase("a minute", 0, 1)]
[TestCase("5 minutes", 0, 5)]

[TestCase("6 days", 0, 0, 0, 6)]
[TestCase("a week", 0, 0, 0, 7)]
[TestCase("4 weeks", 0, 0, 0, 29)]
[TestCase("a month", 0, 0, 0, 30)]
[TestCase("6 months", 0, 0, 0, 6 * 30)]
[TestCase("a year", 0, 0, 0, 365)]
[TestCase("68 years", int.MaxValue)]
public void NaturalLanguageHelpers_TimeSpan(
    string expected,
    int seconds,
    int minutes = 0,
    int hours = 0,
    int days = 0
)
{
    // Arrange
    TimeSpan timeSpan = new(days, hours, minutes, seconds);

    // Act
    string result = timeSpan.ToNaturalLanguage();

    // Assert
    Assert.That(result, Is.EqualTo(expected));
}

[TestCase("now", 0)]
[TestCase("10 minutes ago", 0, -10)]
[TestCase("10 minutes until", 10, 10)]
[TestCase("68 years until", int.MaxValue)]
[TestCase("68 years ago", int.MinValue)]
public void NaturalLanguageHelpers_DateTime(
    string expected,

    DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
    DateTime dateTime = now + timeSpan;

    // Act
    string result = dateTime.ToNaturalLanguage();
