Date helper for displaying elapsed time in a human-readable format. Can be used as a JavaScript utility or template helper with handlebars, lo-dash or any template engine that supports helper functions.
npm i helper-timeago --save
var timeago = require('helper-timeago');
timeago(new Date('2/10/1994'))
//=> '20 years ago'
With Lo-Dash or Underscore:
<%= timeago("index.js") %>
With Handlebars:
With Verb (lo-dash, with special delimiters to avoid delimiter collision in markdown docs):
{%= timeago('index.js') %}
npm test
See the tests for actual usage examples.
This should work with any engine, here are a few examples
Register the helper for use with any template engine
template.helper('timeago', require('helper-timeago'));
To register the helper for use with assemble v0.6.x:
assemble.helper('timeago', require('helper-timeago'));
Register the helper for use with verb:
var verb = require('verb');
verb.helper('timeago', require('helper-timeago'));
verb.task('default', function() {
verb.src('.verb*.md')
.pipe(verb.dest('./'));
});
var handlebars = require('handlebars');
handlebars.registerHelper('timeago', require('helper-timeago'));
// as a mixin
_.mixin({timeago: timeagoHelper});
_.template('<%= _.timeago("fixtures/*.js") %>', {});
// passed on the context
_.template('<%= timeago("fixtures/*.js") %>', {timeago: timeagoHelper});
// as an import
var settings = {imports: {timeago: timeagoHelper}};
_.template('<%= timeago("fixtures/*.js") %>', {}, settings);
