Ember-moment
moment.js template helpers for ember
Requirements
- HTMLBars (see <= 2.0.0 for Handlebar support)
- Ember >= 1.10
- If you need support for < Ember 1.10 please use ember-moment 1.x-2.x

ember install ember-moment
{{moment-format date}}

{{moment-to-now date}}
{{moment-duration ms}}
Advance
{{moment-format date outputFormat inputFormat}}
{{moment-from-now date}}
{{moment-to-now date}}
{{moment-duration number units}}
Recomputes the time ago every 1-second. This is useful for "live" updating as time elapses.
NOTE: This feature is only supported in Ember >= 1.13.0
{{moment-from-now date interval=1000}}
Upgrading
If your npm dep for ember-moment is not fixed on a version (ie, using ~
or ^
) then you may be required to ember g ember-moment
between versions as the default blueprint may have changed.
Please try this, along with clearing node_modules
and bower_components
before reporting issues after upgrades.
ES6 Moment
This addon provides the ability to import moment as an ES6 module.
import moment from 'moment';
Computed Macro
import momentDuration from 'ember-moment/computeds/duration';
import momentFormat from 'ember-moment/computeds/format';
import momentFromNow from 'ember-moment/computeds/from-now';
import momentToNow from 'ember-moment/computeds/to-now';
export default Ember.Controller.extend({
date: new Date('2013-02-08T09:30:26'),
shortDate: momentFormat('date', 'MM/DD/YYYY'),
timeSince: momentFromNow("12-25-1995", "MM-DD-YYYY", false),
computedNumHours: momentToNow("12-25-1995", "MM-DD-YYYY", false),
computedNumHours: momentDuration(10, 'hours')
});
Include Moment Timezone
You can optionally include the Moment Timezone package in your config/environment.js
like so:
module.exports = function() {
return {
moment: {
includeTimezone: 'all'
}
}
};
Global Default Format
Your application may require a different moment format default other than LLLL
. Your application may want dates to be treated in the shorthand date form L
by default.
module.exports = function() {
return {
moment: {
outputFormat: 'L'
}
}
};
i18n support
Cherry pick locales (optimal)
module.exports = function(environment) {
return {
moment: {
includeLocales: ['es', 'fr-ca']
}
};
Include all locales into build
module.exports = function(environment) {
return {
moment: {
includeLocales: true
}
};
Configure default runtime locale
Globally
import moment from 'moment';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
beforeModel() {
moment.locale('es');
}
});
Locally
All helpers except a locale
argument, which is a string. This allows for overriding of the global locale.
{{moment-format date locale='es'}}
{{moment-duration date locale='es'}}
{{moment-from-now date locale='es'}}
{{moment-to-now date locale='es'}}
Feature set of i18n support within moment can be found here: http://momentjs.com/docs/#/i18n/
Frequently Asked Questions
Invalid Date
is being rendered into the DOM, how do I avoid this?
An invalid date string is being passed into momentjs and/or the input string format was omitted. For example, if you're using the moment-format
you'll pass the input format as the 3rd argument:
{{moment-format date outputFormat inputFormat}}
NOTE: for all other helpers, the input format string is the second argument.
If you are knowingly passing null, undefined, or an empty string and want to ignore the output of Invalid Date
then pass the option allow-empty=true
to the helper (all helpers accept this property)
{{moment-format date allow-empty=true}}
