v-simple-timeago

v-simple-timeago

A simple Time Ago component for Vue to convert timestamp dates into human readable date strings (relative dates).

This Web Component works based on Javascript Intl.RelativeTimeFormat, so it will translate dates into the locale language of the browser, in next versions it will allow to define an specific locale code. Using Intl.RelativeTimeFormat allows us to reduce the dependencies and be focused on new Browser technologies, see browser compatibility.

Add the component to your node-modules or libraries folder (soon)

npm i v-simple-timeago

            yesterday: 1628646076306
        }
