You can also use your framework to bind a variable to time. The input to time can be a Date, string or number. The syntax varies by framework. To use Angular as an example:

now = new Date();                                               // Typescript                     
You entered this page <time-ago [time]="now"                    // in template
                                seconds="true"></time-ago>.
You entered this page less than 5 seconds ago.                  // output (updates automatically)
