I found this snippet at John Resig's blog:
function prettyDate(time){
var date = new Date((time || "").replace(/-/g,"/").replace(/[TZ]/g," ")),
diff = (((new Date()).getTime() - date.getTime()) / 1000),
day_diff = Math.floor(diff / 86400);
if ( isNaN(day_diff) || day_diff < 0 || day_diff >= 31 )
return;
return day_diff == 0 && (
diff < 60 && "just now" ||
diff < 120 && "1 min" ||
diff < 3600 && Math.floor( diff / 60 ) + " mins" ||
diff < 7200 && "1 hour" ||
diff < 86400 && Math.floor( diff / 3600 ) + " hours") ||
day_diff == 1 && "Yesterday" ||
day_diff < 7 && day_diff + " d" ||
day_diff < 31 && Math.ceil( day_diff / 7 ) + " w";
}
// If jQuery is included in the page, adds a jQuery plugin to handle it as well
if ( typeof jQuery != "undefined" )
jQuery.fn.prettyDate = function(){
return this.each(function(){
var date = prettyDate(this.title);
if ( date )
jQuery(this).text( date );
});
};
My timezone on server is UTC , I am not sure what timezone will this code work on?
In my html i render my time as follows:
<span id="p-date">2012-09-26T00:12:15</span>
Will doing
$(function() {
$("#p-date").prettyDate();
setInterval(function(){ $("#p-date").prettyDate(); }, 5000);
});
humanize the time?
The above snippet does not take care of timezone. In case the server has UTC timezone, you will need to do an extra (d.getTimezoneOffset()*60000)
to convert to local time.
The entire function below:
function prettyDate(time){
d = new Date();
var date = new Date((time || "").replace(/-/g,"/").replace(/[TZ]/g," ")),
diff = ((d.getTime() + (d.getTimezoneOffset()*60000) - date.getTime()) / 1000),
day_diff = Math.floor(diff / 86400);
if ( isNaN(day_diff) || day_diff < 0 || day_diff >= 31 )
return;
return day_diff == 0 && (
diff < 60 && "just now" ||
diff < 120 && "1 min ago" ||
diff < 3600 && Math.floor( diff / 60 ) + " mins ago" ||
diff < 7200 && "1 hour ago" ||
diff < 86400 && Math.floor( diff / 3600 ) + " hours ago") ||
day_diff == 1 && "Yesterday" ||
day_diff < 7 && day_diff + " days ago" ||
day_diff < 31 && Math.ceil( day_diff / 7 ) + " week ago";
}
// If jQuery is included in the page, adds a jQuery plugin to handle it as well
if ( typeof jQuery != "undefined" )
jQuery.fn.prettyDate = function(){
return this.each(function(){
var $this = jQuery(this),
date = prettyDate($this.text());
if ( date )
$this.text( date );
});
};
$(function() {
$(".p-date").prettyDate();
setInterval(function(){ $(".p-date").prettyDate(); }, 5000);
});
With a small modification, it should work: http://jsfiddle.net/gfPwa/
In the current plugin, the date string is being extracted using this.title
which would not return anything for your <span>
. In your case, we can instead extract the date string using $this.text()
.
if ( typeof jQuery != "undefined" )
jQuery.fn.prettyDate = function(){
return this.each(function(){
var $this = jQuery(this), // cache jQuery(this)
date = prettyDate($this.text()); // get date string from .text()
if ( date )
$this.text( date );
});
};
