react-timestamp

Timestamp

A React component for displaying a datetime in the local timezone

Usage

npm install react-timestamp

Then:

const Timestamp = require('react-timestamp');

Use UTC times for the time prop.

<Timestamp time={thing.created_at} />
<Timestamp time={thing.created_at} precision={2} />
<Timestamp time="2015-10-10 10:30:00" format='full' />
<Timestamp time="2015-10-10 10:30:00" utc={false} format='full' /> <!-- Don't convert the timestamp to local time -->
<Timestamp time="1450663457" />
<Timestamp time="1450663457" format='full' includeDay />
<Timestamp time="1450663457" since="145060000" />
<Timestamp time="1450663457" until="145070000" />
<Timestamp time="1450663457" until="145070000" autoUpdate /> <!-- Updates every second -->
<Timestamp time="1450663457" until="145070000" autoUpdate={60} /> <!-- Updates every minute -->

Format options are:

• 'ago' (default) - 2 hours ago
• 'full' - 10 Oct 2015, 4:32pm
• 'date' - 10 Oct 2015
• 'time' - 4:32pm

Precision works like this:

<Timestamp time={SOME DATE} precision={3} />
<!-- 2 days, 4 hours, 1 minute ago -->

<Timestamp time={SOME DATE} precision={2} />
<!-- 2 days, 4 hours -->

<Timestamp time={SOME DATE} precision={1} />
<!-- 2 days -->

Usage with React Native

If you are using React Native then you'll have to pass in Text.

import Timestamp from 'react-timestamp';
import { Text } from 'react-native';

Then:

<Timestamp time="1450663457" component={Text} />
