如果你已经在使用date-fns，你可以使用内置的formatDistance(以前是distanceInWords):

const date1 = new Date(2014, 6, 2);
const date2 = new Date(2015, 0, 1);
const options = { addSuffix: true }
const result = formatDistance(date1, date2, options);
//=> '6 months ago'

由@user1012181提供的ES6版本代码:

const epochs = [
    ['year', 31536000],
    ['month', 2592000],
    ['day', 86400],
    ['hour', 3600],
    ['minute', 60],
    ['second', 1]
];

const getDuration = (timeAgoInSeconds) => {
    for (let [name, seconds] of epochs) {
        const interval = Math.floor(timeAgoInSeconds / seconds);
        if (interval >= 1) {
            return {
                interval: interval,
                epoch: name
            };
        }
    }
};

const timeAgo = (date) => {
    const timeAgoInSeconds = Math.floor((new Date() - new Date(date)) / 1000);
    const {interval, epoch} = getDuration(timeAgoInSeconds);
    const suffix = interval === 1 ? '' : 's';
    return `${interval} ${epoch}${suffix} ago`;
};

这应该正确地处理任何有效的时间戳，包括Date.now()、单数单位和未来日期。我漏掉了月份，但是这些月份应该很容易加进去。我尽量保持它的可读性。

function getTimeInterval(date) { let seconds = Math.floor((Date.now() - date) / 1000); let unit = "second"; let direction = "ago"; if (seconds < 0) { seconds = -seconds; direction = "from now"; } let value = seconds; if (seconds >= 31536000) { value = Math.floor(seconds / 31536000); unit = "year"; } else if (seconds >= 86400) { value = Math.floor(seconds / 86400); unit = "day"; } else if (seconds >= 3600) { value = Math.floor(seconds / 3600); unit = "hour"; } else if (seconds >= 60) { value = Math.floor(seconds / 60); unit = "minute"; } if (value != 1) unit = unit + "s"; return value + " " + unit + " " + direction; } console.log(getTimeInterval(Date.now())); // 0 seconds ago console.log(getTimeInterval(Date.now() + 1000)); // 1 second from now console.log(getTimeInterval(Date.now() - 1000)); // 1 second ago console.log(getTimeInterval(Date.now() + 60000)); // 1 minute from now console.log(getTimeInterval(Date.now() - 120000)); // 2 minutes ago console.log(getTimeInterval(Date.now() + 120000)); // 2 minutes from now console.log(getTimeInterval(Date.now() + 3600000)); // 1 hour from now console.log(getTimeInterval(Date.now() + 360000000000)); // 11 years from now console.log(getTimeInterval(0)); // 49 years ago

将上面的函数更改为

function timeSince(date) {

    var seconds = Math.floor(((new Date().getTime()/1000) - date)),
    interval = Math.floor(seconds / 31536000);

    if (interval > 1) return interval + "y";

    interval = Math.floor(seconds / 2592000);
    if (interval > 1) return interval + "m";

    interval = Math.floor(seconds / 86400);
    if (interval >= 1) return interval + "d";

    interval = Math.floor(seconds / 3600);
    if (interval >= 1) return interval + "h";

    interval = Math.floor(seconds / 60);
    if (interval > 1) return interval + "m ";

    return Math.floor(seconds) + "s";
}

否则它会显示“75分钟”(介于1到2小时之间)。它现在还假定输入日期是Unix时间戳。

下面是我所做的(对象返回时间单位及其值):

function timeSince(post_date, reference) { var reference = reference ? new Date(reference) : new Date(), diff = reference - new Date(post_date + ' GMT-0000'), date = new Date(diff), object = { unit: null, value: null }; if (diff < 86400000) { var secs = date.getSeconds(), mins = date.getMinutes(), hours = date.getHours(), array = [ ['second', secs], ['minute', mins], ['hour', hours] ]; } else { var days = date.getDate(), weeks = Math.floor(days / 7), months = date.getMonth(), years = date.getFullYear() - 1970, array = [ ['day', days], ['week', weeks], ['month', months], ['year', years] ]; } for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) { array[i][0] += array[i][1] != 1 ? 's' : ''; object.unit = array[i][1] >= 1 ? array[i][0] : object.unit; object.value = array[i][1] >= 1 ? array[i][1] : object.value; } return object; }

这些答案大多不能解释复数(例如:复数)。当我们想要“1分钟前”时，用“1分钟前”)

const MINUTE = 60;
const HOUR = MINUTE * 60;
const DAY = HOUR * 24;
const WEEK = DAY * 7;
const MONTH = DAY * 30;
const YEAR = DAY * 365;

function getTimeAgo(date) {
  const secondsAgo = Math.round((Date.now() - Number(date)) / 1000);

  if (secondsAgo < MINUTE) {
    return secondsAgo + ` second${secondsAgo !== 1 ? "s" : ""} ago`;
  }

  let divisor;
  let unit = "";

  if (secondsAgo < HOUR) {
    [divisor, unit] = [MINUTE, "minute"];
  } else if (secondsAgo < DAY) {
    [divisor, unit] = [HOUR, "hour"];
  } else if (secondsAgo < WEEK) {
    [divisor, unit] = [DAY, "day"];
  } else if (secondsAgo < MONTH) {
    [divisor, unit] = [WEEK, "week"];
  } else if (secondsAgo < YEAR) {
    [divisor, unit] = [MONTH, "month"];
  } else {
    [divisor, unit] = [YEAR, "year"];
  }

  const count = Math.floor(secondsAgo / divisor);
  return `${count} ${unit}${count > 1 ? "s" : ""} ago`;
}

然后你可以这样使用它:

const date = new Date();
console.log(getTimeAgo(date));
// 1 second ago
// 2 seconds ago
// 1 minute ago
// 2 minutes ago
// ...
