A simple time-ago component for ReactJs.
React-TimeAgo is a highly efficient component designed specifically for React applications, providing users with a seamless way to display relative time in a clean, easy-to-read format. This component updates automatically according to the proximity of the date specified, allowing for real-time time-ago representation, making it ideal for chat applications, social media feeds, and anywhere you might want to reflect how recent an event is.
With its built-in localization features and support for multiple languages, React-TimeAgo simplifies the process of integrating live time indicators into your projects. The minimalist design combined with powerful functionality guarantees that developers can enhance the user experience without sacrificing performance.
Automatic Live Updates: The component updates its display only when needed based on the timeframe, ensuring efficient resource usage.
Intl Formatter: Introduced in version 8.2.0, this formatter utilizes the built-in Intl API for creating relative time formats, providing broader localization support with minimal setup.
Language Support: Since version 3.1.0, the component comes with extensive language support out of the box, allowing developers to easily integrate into international applications.
Custom Formatter Functionality: Users can build custom formatters for various languages or specific requirements, providing maximum control over how dates are displayed.
Flow Types: The inclusion of flow type definitions enhances type safety within your React components, streamlining development and preventing potential errors.
Custom Date Handling: The ‘date’ prop can accept a variety of formats, including date objects, UTC date-strings, and epoch time, offering flexibility in handling different date inputs.
Optional Live Functionality: While the component updates live by default, users can turn off this feature if desired, allowing full control over when updates are shown.
Custom Now Function: A custom ’now’ prop can be defined, which is particularly beneficial for server-side rendering, ensuring consistent date and time representation across environments.
