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
我也建议在客户端进行计算。服务器工作更少。

其他回答
您可以使用TimeAgo扩展，如下所示：
public static string TimeAgo(this DateTime dateTime)
{
string result = string.Empty;
var timeSpan = DateTime.Now.Subtract(dateTime);
if (timeSpan <= TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60))
{
result = string.Format("{0} seconds ago", timeSpan.Seconds);
}
else if (timeSpan <= TimeSpan.FromMinutes(60))
{
result = timeSpan.Minutes > 1 ?
String.Format("about {0} minutes ago", timeSpan.Minutes) :
"about a minute ago";
}
else if (timeSpan <= TimeSpan.FromHours(24))
{
result = timeSpan.Hours > 1 ?
String.Format("about {0} hours ago", timeSpan.Hours) :
"about an hour ago";
}
else if (timeSpan <= TimeSpan.FromDays(30))
{
result = timeSpan.Days > 1 ?
String.Format("about {0} days ago", timeSpan.Days) :
"yesterday";
}
else if (timeSpan <= TimeSpan.FromDays(365))
{
result = timeSpan.Days > 30 ?
String.Format("about {0} months ago", timeSpan.Days / 30) :
"about a month ago";
}
else
{
result = timeSpan.Days > 365 ?
String.Format("about {0} years ago", timeSpan.Days / 365) :
"about a year ago";
}
return result;
}
或者使用带有Timeago的Razor扩展的jQuery插件。
用于客户端gwt的Java：
import java.util.Date;
public class RelativeDateFormat {
private static final long ONE_MINUTE = 60000L;
private static final long ONE_HOUR = 3600000L;
private static final long ONE_DAY = 86400000L;
private static final long ONE_WEEK = 604800000L;
public static String format(Date date) {
long delta = new Date().getTime() - date.getTime();
if (delta < 1L * ONE_MINUTE) {
return toSeconds(delta) == 1 ? "one second ago" : toSeconds(delta)
+ " seconds ago";
}
if (delta < 2L * ONE_MINUTE) {
return "one minute ago";
}
if (delta < 45L * ONE_MINUTE) {
return toMinutes(delta) + " minutes ago";
}
if (delta < 90L * ONE_MINUTE) {
return "one hour ago";
}
if (delta < 24L * ONE_HOUR) {
return toHours(delta) + " hours ago";
}
if (delta < 48L * ONE_HOUR) {
return "yesterday";
}
if (delta < 30L * ONE_DAY) {
return toDays(delta) + " days ago";
}
if (delta < 12L * 4L * ONE_WEEK) {
long months = toMonths(delta);
return months <= 1 ? "one month ago" : months + " months ago";
} else {
long years = toYears(delta);
return years <= 1 ? "one year ago" : years + " years ago";
}
}
private static long toSeconds(long date) {
return date / 1000L;
}
private static long toMinutes(long date) {
return toSeconds(date) / 60L;
}
private static long toHours(long date) {
return toMinutes(date) / 60L;
}
private static long toDays(long date) {
return toHours(date) / 24L;
}
private static long toMonths(long date) {
return toDays(date) / 30L;
}
private static long toYears(long date) {
return toMonths(date) / 365L;
}
}
Jeff，您的代码很好，但使用常量可以更清晰（如代码完成中所建议的）。
const int SECOND = 1;
const int MINUTE = 60 * SECOND;
const int HOUR = 60 * MINUTE;
const int DAY = 24 * HOUR;
const int MONTH = 30 * DAY;
var ts = new TimeSpan(DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks - yourDate.Ticks);
double delta = Math.Abs(ts.TotalSeconds);
if (delta < 1 * MINUTE)
return ts.Seconds == 1 ? "one second ago" : ts.Seconds + " seconds ago";
if (delta < 2 * MINUTE)
return "a minute ago";
if (delta < 45 * MINUTE)
return ts.Minutes + " minutes ago";
if (delta < 90 * MINUTE)
return "an hour ago";
if (delta < 24 * HOUR)
return ts.Hours + " hours ago";
if (delta < 48 * HOUR)
return "yesterday";
if (delta < 30 * DAY)
return ts.Days + " days ago";
if (delta < 12 * MONTH)
{
int months = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor((double)ts.Days / 30));
return months <= 1 ? "one month ago" : months + " months ago";
}
else
{
int years = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor((double)ts.Days / 365));
return years <= 1 ? "one year ago" : years + " years ago";
}
public string getRelativeDateTime(DateTime date)
{
TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now - date;
if (ts.TotalMinutes < 1)//seconds ago
return "just now";
if (ts.TotalHours < 1)//min ago
return (int)ts.TotalMinutes == 1 ? "1 Minute ago" : (int)ts.TotalMinutes + " Minutes ago";
if (ts.TotalDays < 1)//hours ago
return (int)ts.TotalHours == 1 ? "1 Hour ago" : (int)ts.TotalHours + " Hours ago";
if (ts.TotalDays < 7)//days ago
return (int)ts.TotalDays == 1 ? "1 Day ago" : (int)ts.TotalDays + " Days ago";
if (ts.TotalDays < 30.4368)//weeks ago
return (int)(ts.TotalDays / 7) == 1 ? "1 Week ago" : (int)(ts.TotalDays / 7) + " Weeks ago";
if (ts.TotalDays < 365.242)//months ago
return (int)(ts.TotalDays / 30.4368) == 1 ? "1 Month ago" : (int)(ts.TotalDays / 30.4368) + " Months ago";
//years ago
return (int)(ts.TotalDays / 365.242) == 1 ? "1 Year ago" : (int)(ts.TotalDays / 365.242) + " Years ago";
}

jquery.timeago插件
Jeff，因为Stack Overflow广泛使用jQuery，所以我建议使用jQuery.timeago插件。
优点：
即使页面是在10分钟前打开的，也不要使用“1分钟前”的时间戳；timeago自动刷新。您可以充分利用web应用程序中的页面和/或片段缓存，因为时间戳不是在服务器上计算的。你可以像酷孩子一样使用微格式。
只需将其附加到DOM就绪的时间戳：
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('abbr.timeago').timeago();
});
这将在标题中使用timeago类和ISO 8601时间戳转换所有缩写元素：
<abbr class="timeago" title="2008-07-17T09:24:17Z">July 17, 2008</abbr>
变成这样：
<abbr class="timeago" title="July 17, 2008">4 months ago</abbr>
结果：4个月前。随着时间的推移，时间戳将自动更新。
免责声明：我写了这个插件，所以我有偏见。
