Relative dates in words
$ component install component/relative-date
var date = new Date(Date.now() - 60000);
console.log(relative(date) + ' ago');
// => "one minute ago"
var date = new Date(Date.now() + 5 * 60000);
console.log(relative(date) + ' from now');
// => "5 minutes from now"Return the date in words relative to Date.now():
var relative = require('relative-date');
var date = new Date(Date.now() + 2000);
var str = relative(date) + ' ago';
// => "2 seconds ago"An empty string "" is returned when the difference
is below one second. You may use this to default
the string as shown here:
var str = relative(new Date) || 'just now';
// => "just now"
var str = relative(new Date);
if (str) str = 'assignment due in ' + str;
else str = 'assignment due';
// => "assignment due"Same as above, relative to other instead of Date.now().
