vue-timeago2

A timeago component Vue.js

Install

yarn add vue-timeago2
# or
npm i vue-timeago2

Usage

import VueTimeago2 from "vue-timeago2";

Vue.use(VueTimeago2, {
  name: "Timeago", // Component name, `Timeago` by default
  locale: "en", // Default locale
  // We use `date-fns` under the hood
  // So you can use all locales from it
  locales: {
    "zh-CN": require("date-fns/locale/zh_cn/index"),
    es: require("date-fns/locale/es/index")
  }
});

Then in your lovely component:

<!-- simple usage -->
<!-- time is a dateString that can be parsed by Date.parse() -->
<timeago :datetime="time"></timeago>
//return in about 1 hour

<!-- Convert type -->
<!-- You can use both converters by default: default or strict -->
<timeago :datetime="time" typeConvert="strict"></timeago>
//return '6 months'

<!-- Auto-update time every 60 seconds -->
<timeago :datetime="time" :auto-update="60"></timeago>

<!-- custom locale -->
<!-- use a different locale instead of the global config -->
<timeago :datetime="time" locale="zh-CN"></timeago>

Plugin options

Vue.use(VueTimeago, pluginOptions);

locales

• Type: { [localeName: string]: any }

An object of locales.

locale

• Type: string

The default locale name.

converter

• Type: (date, locale, converterOptions) => string

A converter that formats regular dates in xxx ago, in xxx or xxx days style.

We have two converters that format time: toNow and Strict. usando date-fns 2.8.1

converterOptions

• Type: Object

Provide an object which will be available as argument converterOptions in the converter we mentioned above.

Our default converter supports most options that date-fns library supports, namely:

• includeSeconds: (default: false) distances less than a minute are more detailed
• addSuffix: (default: true) result specifies if the second date is earlier or later than the first
• roundingMethod (default: rounded) only for strict type conversion

props

datetime

• Type: Date string number
• Required: true

The datetime to be formatted .

autoUpdate

• Type: number boolean
• Default: false

The period to update the component, in seconds.

You can omit this prop or set it to 0 or false to disable auto-update.

When true it will be equivalent to 60.

locale

Just like the locale option in the plugin options, but this could override the global one.

converter

Just like the converter option in the plugin options, but this could override the global one.

typeConvert

• default: Return the distance between the given dates in words.
• strict: Return the distance between the given dates in words, using strict units. This is like formatDistance, but does not use helpers like 'almost', 'over', 'less than' and the like.`

converterOptions

Just like the converterOptions option in the plugin options, but this could override the global one.

Recipes

Update Locale Globally

Vue.use(VueTimeago, {
  locale: "en",
  locales: {
    "zh-CN": require("date-fns/locale/zh_cn/index")
  }
});

In your components you can use this.$timeago.locale to access the global locale, in this case it's en, the <timeago> component will get updated when you set it to another valid locale, e.g. this.$timeago.locale = 'zh-CN'.
