preact-timeago

Super minimal port of timeago-react to work with Preact, supporting a subset of the timeago-react props.

Install

npm install preact-timeago

Library depends on timeago.js.

Usage

const { h, render } = require('preact');
const TimeAgo = require('preact-timeago');
 
const Content = ({ datetime }) => (
    <section class="content">
        <TimeAgo datetime={datetime} live={true} />
    </section>
);
 
render(<Content datetime="2016-10-10 10:10:10" />, document.body);

Props

datetime is required and timeago.js will do its best to format what it's given, one of:

• datetime string
• Date instance
• timestamp

live defaults to false, determines whether the time should update if the datetime prop changes.

Gotchas

locale

I had no need in the project that this came from to keep locale-based formatting, so 'en' is the only supported locale with this module.

Contributing

Pull requests welcome! This project isn't intended to closely track its React counterpart but instead provide similar but minimal functionality to Preact users.
