humanize_time

Crystal CI GitHub release Commits Since Last Release License

Reports the approximate distance in time between two Time objects. Pass include_seconds: true if you want more detailed approximations when distance < 1 min, 29 secs.

humanize_time supports i18n translations too so it can be used in internationalized apps.

humanize_time implementation is heavily inspired by (read: stolen) distance_of_time_in_words method. Many thanks to Rails community!

Distances are reported based on the following table:

0 <-> 29 secs                                                             # => less than a minute
30 secs <-> 1 min, 29 secs                                                # => 1 minute
1 min, 30 secs <-> 44 mins, 29 secs                                       # => [2..44] minutes
44 mins, 30 secs <-> 89 mins, 29 secs                                     # => about 1 hour
89 mins, 30 secs <-> 23 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs                             # => about [2..24] hours
23 hrs, 59 mins, 30 secs <-> 41 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs                     # => 1 day
41 hrs, 59 mins, 30 secs  <-> 29 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs           # => [2..29] days
29 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 30 secs <-> 44 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs   # => about 1 month
44 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 30 secs <-> 59 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs   # => about 2 months
59 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 30 secs <-> 1 yr minus 1 sec                    # => [2..12] months
1 yr <-> 1 yr, 3 months                                                   # => about 1 year
1 yr, 3 months <-> 1 yr, 9 months                                         # => over 1 year
1 yr, 9 months <-> 2 yr minus 1 sec                                       # => almost 2 years
2 yrs <-> max time or date                                                # => (same rules as 1 yr)

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  humanize_time:
    github: mamantoha/humanize_time

Usage

require "humanize_time"

HumanizeTime.locale = "es" # or `I18n.locale = "es"`

HumanizeTime.distance_of_time_in_words(42.minutes.ago, Time.local)
# => 42 minutos
HumanizeTime.distance_of_time_in_words(3.seconds.ago, Time.local, include_seconds: true)
# => menos de 5 segundos
