Angular directive/filter/service for formatting date so that it displays how long ago the given time was compared to now.
This project is based off of a thread on Angular Google Groups. The person who started the thread, @lrlopez, gave me permission to start a repo using the code he wrote initially. Thanks to @lrlopez and other contributors in the thread.
Check out the demo here.
Install via Bower
bower install --save angular-timeago
Reference in module
var app = angular.module('ngApp', [
'yaru22.angular-timeago'
]);
Filter
{{myDate | timeAgo}}
Displays time ago since myDate. myDate can be time in milliseconds since January 1st 1970 (see MDN Date.prototype.getTime) or an ISO 8601 string (see MDN Date.prototype.toISOString)
Language support
angular-timeago currently supports: en_US, de_DE, he_IL, pt_BR. If you want more languages: feel free to contribute!
The language is determined by the string in document.documentElement.lang which you can set in your HTML markup:
<html lang="en_US"></html>
Or directly in JS:
window.document.documentElement.lang = 'en_US';
You can also add additional or alter existing languages at runtime by extending the service:
timeAgo.settings.strings.en_US = {
// appropriate keys here
};
For more details refer to the source code.
In order to run the e2e tests you might need to install a Selenium server via:
./node_modules/grunt-protractor-runner/scripts/webdriver-manager-update```
And then use grunt to run all tests (unit and e2e):
grunt test
