npm install time-ago-pipe --save |
It can be imported into your angular project, as you would for any other library.
In the @NgModule you want to use it in
import {TimeAgoPipe} from 'time-ago-pipe';
add "TimeAgoPipe" to your declarations
@NgModule({
imports: [... etc ...],
declarations: [..., TimeAgoPipe, ... ]
})
In your component templates you can just do:
<span>{{your_date | timeAgo}}</span>
where "your_date" is a local date string, which could be parsed by the standard Js Date()
If this value is null or not parsable as a date, then the pipe will display nothing
