dev-juyoung/vue-timeago

A tiny timeago component for Vue.

vue-timeago

A timeago component Vue.js

Install

$ npm install --save vue-timeago

It's also available on NPMCDN: https://unpkg.com/vue-timeago/

Usage

import VueTimeago from 'vue-timeago'

Vue.use(VueTimeago, {
  name: 'timeago', // component name, `timeago` by default
  locale: 'en-US',
  locales: {
    // you will need json-loader in webpack 1
    'en-US': require('vue-timeago/locales/en-US.json')
  }
})

Then in your lovely component:

<!-- simple usage -->
<!-- time is a dateString that can be parsed by Date.parse() -->
<timeago :since="time"></timeago>

<!-- Auto-update time every 60 seconds -->
<timeago :since="time" :auto-update="60"></timeago>

<!-- max time, time before this will not be converted  -->
<!-- instead you can use a custom formatTime function to format -->
<!-- 86400 * 365 = a year -->
<timeago :since="time" :max-time="86400 * 365" :format="formatTime"></timeago>

<!-- custom locale -->
<!-- use a different locale instead of the global config -->
<timeago :since="time" locale="zh-CN"></timeago>
