Reactively display fromNow() from moment.js

reactive-fromnow: reactive version of moment.fromNow()

This package exports one function: ReactiveFromNow(then, options).

It returns a string similar to the fromNow function of moment.js. If called in a reactive context, it also invalidates the current context at a point where that string may change. Unlike other reactive moment packages, it does not invalidate the context every second; for example, when printing "a day ago", it only refreshes on the next hour.

If the date is in the future, it always returns "just now".

then is a Date, Moment, or any other value that can be passed to the Moment constructor.

Options include:

• fromWhen: the time (Date, Moment, or other value that can be passed to the Moment constructor) from which the duration should be calculated, instead of the current time.
• maxRelativeMs: if the duration to format is longer than this amount, print its absolute date instead of a relative date, and ignore the Tracker context.
• absoluteFormat: override the default moment format string used for absolute dates.
• noReactivity: ignore the Tracker context. Mostly intended for testing.

Does not support Moment locales.
