Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Epoch TimeAgo

NPM npm bundle size (minified + gzip) npm downloads Deps Build Coverage

Convert Unix time to a relative time string e.g., "4 hours ago".

As the name implies, only epoch time (Unix time) can be used. The output format is similar to what you would find on Reddit.

There is zero configuration. Zero dependencies. Minifies to 435 bytes, and gzips to 224 bytes. 😎

Examples:

  • seconds > just now
  • minutes > a minute ago, 15 minutes ago
  • hours > an hour ago, 2 hours ago
  • days > 1 day ago, 2 days ago
  • weeks > 1 week ago, 3 weeks ago
  • months > 1 month ago, 5 months ago
  • years > 1 year ago, 2 years ago

Install

yarn add epoch-timeago

or

npm install -S epoch-timeago

The default build selected will depend on your bundle tool configuration. By default webpack will get the UMD build, and Rollup the esm build. If you want to override this use the following paths:

  • UMD build available at 'epoch-timeago/dist',
  • Commonjs build available at 'epoch-timeago/lib',
  • esm build (ES6+ only) available at 'epoch-timeago/es'.
  • Source (ES6+ only) available at 'epoch-timeago/src'.

NOTE: Builds are all minified.

Usage

Simply pass a Unix time stamp converted to milliseconds (timestampInSeconds * 1000) and get a time ago formatted string. If your timestamps are in milliseconds no conversion is necessary.

import timeago from 'epoch-timeago';

// Example of simple usage
const timeDiff = timeago(timestamp * 1000)

//Example of formatted string
const timeSince = timeago(Date.now() - 60000 * 10);
// '10 minutes ago'

In React

import React from 'react';
import timeago from 'epoch-timeago';

const TimeAgo = ({ time }) =>
  <time datetime={new Date(time).toISOString()}>{timeago(time)}</time>

// ...

const epochTimeStamp = Date.now() - 60000 * 22;
<TimeAgo time={epochTimeStamp} />
