aussiegeek / time_distance

Elixir library to calculate display distance between two dates (or a date and now), similar to distance_of_time_in_words

TimeDistance

Show the difference between two specified times, or between a specified time and now

Example results:

• 2 seconds ago
• 6 months ago
• 3 days
• 2 years

Works with Elixir time structs or Timex

A rough port of distance_of_time_in_words from Ruby on Rails

Installation

1. Add time_distance to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

   def deps do [{:time_distance, "~> 0.0.1"}] end

2. Ensure time_distance is started before your application:

   def application do [applications: [:time_distance]] end
