Add fromNow boolean option, to display relative dates

[cillianderoiste]

outputFormat will be ignored if fromNow is true.
e.g. data-pat-display-time="fromNow: true"

Hi @cillianderoiste , this will operate as expected but what is the premise behind doing this?

[adrianwhite]

Sorry, I did not read the commit thoroughly enough.

The patterns convention is that arguments are hyphen separated.

So the arguments should actually be: from-now, output-format and output-locale.

@cillianderoiste I know that you were just following the convention in this pattern, but maybe you could nip this in the bud and correct the argument names?

[jcbrand]

@cillianderoiste You can use the parser.addAlias method to add aliases to outputFormat and outputLocale, so that old declarative configurations of the pattern still work.

If you do a grep for addAlias in Patternslib you'll find an example where it's used.

@jcbrand @cillianderoiste sorry about my premature merge of this.
Thanks for the pointers @jcbrand

[cillianderoiste]

@adrianwhite @jcbrand I guess there's no need to be backwards compatible here, and we can just use the hyphen separated version. Shall I take care of it @adrianwhite, or have you already got it?

[adrianwhite]

@cillianderoiste I'm a bit snowed under by client work at the mo.
If you could do this it would be most useful. Cheers.

[cillianderoiste]

Sure, no problemo.
