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 🙏

a simple library used to format datetime with *** time ago statement into readable format. eg: '3 hours ago'

Formats a timestamp to:

  • 3 minutes ago
  • 5 hours ago
  • 8 days ago
  • 6 months ago
  • 4 years ago

Install

Get it on npm

npm install ts-ago

Usage

This module exports a main function 'ago()' that takes one argument 'timestamp' and returns timestamp formated in a readable form:

import ago from "ts-ago";

// Timestamps for one minute, one hour, one day, one month and one year
const minute = 60 * 1000;
const hour = 60 * minute;
const day = 24 * hour;
const month = 30 * day;
const year = 12 * month;

// simulating different inputs
const nowTimestamp = new Date().getTime(); // now
const fiveMinutesAgoTimestamp = nowTimestamp - 5 * minute; // timestamp for 5 minutes ago
const fiveHoursAgoTimestamp = nowTimestamp - 5 * hour; // timestamp for 5 hours ago
const fiveDaysAgoTimestamp = nowTimestamp - 5 * day; // timestamp for 5 days ago
const fiveMonthsAgoTimestamp = nowTimestamp - 5 * month; // timestamp for 5 months ago
const fiveYearsAgoTimestamp = nowTimestamp - 5 * year; // timestamp for 5 years ago

// using ago()
ago(); // returns undefined
ago("hello world"); // throws an Error
ago(nowTimestamp); // returns 'just now'
ago(fiveMinutesAgoTimestamp); // returns '5 minutes ago'
ago(fiveHoursAgoTimestamp); // returns '5 hours ago'
ago(fiveDaysAgoTimestamp); // returns '5 days ago'
ago(fiveMonthsAgoTimestamp); // returns '5 months ago'
ago(fiveYearsAgoTimestamp); // returns '5 years ago'
