TickAgo

Overview

A JavaScript library to calculate and compare elapsed time.

  • Automatically detects elapsed time: seconds, minutes, hours, months, or years ago.
  • Compare two times and get the elapsed time object.
  • Customizable and flexible.
  • And more to explore!

How it Works

It works by getting the given date and calculating the elapsed time.

Installation

  1. Include the source file in your project, either manually or by using our CDN:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rezzvy/tickago@latest/dist/tickago.min.js"></script>

or if you're in node environment

npm install tickago
  1. Assuming you're in a browser environment, you can use the library by calling the method directly TickAgo.{methodName}

or if you're in node environment, you need to require it first.

const TickAgo = require("tickago");

Usage

moment() method

// Given parameter as a Date object
console.log(TickAgo.moment(new Date("2011-11-11"))); // Expected output: {x} years ago
// Given parameter as a timestamp
console.log(TickAgo.moment(Date.now() - 5000)); // Expected output: 5 sec ago
// Given parameter as a string
console.log(TickAgo.moment("2011-11-11")); // Expected output: {x} years ago

// Another examples
console.log(
  TickAgo.moment(Date.now() - 5000, {
    labels: {
      sec: "detik yang lalu",
    },
  })
); // Expected output: 5 detik yang lalu (indonesian)

console.log(
  TickAgo.moment("11-2011-11", {
    format: "DD-YYYY-MM",
  })
); // Expected output: {x} years ago

compare() method

 // Given parameters as strings
console.log(TickAgo.compare("2015-01-01", "2025-01-01"));
// Expected Output
{
    "years": 10,
    "months": 0,
    "days": 0,
    "hours": 0,
    "minutes": 0,
    "seconds": 0,
    "elapsedTime": 315619200000
}

// A mix of string and timestamp
console.log(TickAgo.compare("2015-01-01", Date.now())); // Current timestamp 1738479393395
// Expected Output
{
    "years": 10,
    "months": 1,
    "days": 1,
    "hours": 6,
    "minutes": 56,
    "seconds": 33,
    "elapsedTime": 318408993395
}

// Using custom date format
console.log(TickAgo.compare("11-2011-11", "12-2012-12", "MM-YYYY-DD"));
// Expected Output
{
    "years": 1,
    "months": 1,
    "days": 1,
    "hours": 0,
    "minutes": 0,
    "seconds": 0,
    "elapsedTime": 34300800000
}

Documentation

moment(timestamp, options) method

  • First parameter Expected to be a string, timestamp, or date object. If the given value is a date object, the custom date format will be ignored, and the date object will be used as it is.

  • Second parameter (optional)

{
  format: "DD-MM-YYYY", // DD as Day, MM as month, YYYY as year
  labels: {
    sec: "sec ago",
    minutes: "minutes ago",
    hours: "hours ago",
    days: "days ago",
    months: "months ago",
    years: "years ago"
  }
}

compare(dateOne, dateTwo, format) method

Note

If the given value contains only the day, month, and year, the hours, minutes, and seconds will always be zero. To make it work, you can pass the time in the given date, e.g., 2012-12-12T19:29, or manually create a date object and set the hours and minutes.

  • First and second parameters
    Expected to be a string, timestamp, or date object. If the given value is a date object, the custom date format will be ignored, and the date object will be used as it is.

  • Third parameter (optional)
    Expected to be a string, e.g., YYYY-MM-DD.
