S-Ago Translate

A package based in 's-ago' that I made to take the functionality of the 'ago' function and translate it to many languages.

Instalation

npm i s-ago-translate

Usage

It has the same usage as the ago function from s-ago, but you need to pass a new parameter named lang that must be a property from the exported object Langs. This parameter is the language in that you want the human readable text. You can find them in the Langs object, followed by a language codes according to ISO 639-1.

The Following example is also from the s-ago package, but the code is modified to add the new parameter.

const {ago, Langs} = require('s-ago-translate');

// Or if you are using import-export
// import { ago, Langs } from 's-ago-translate'

let now = Date.now();
let hoursAgo = new Date(now - (6 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
let yesterday = new Date(now - (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));

// In newer versions, you don't need to convert the miliseconds to a Date object
// this is very useful because, in some cases, you store created or edited dates
// in databases as numbers indicating miliseconds.
let tomorrow = now + (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
let inSixHours = now + (6 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
let inTwoWeeks = now + (2 * 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
 
// present
ago(now, Langs.EN); // 'just now', the used TLP was EN (english)
 
// past
ago(yesterday, Langs.ES); // 'ayer' (yesterday), the used TLP was ES (spanish)
ago(hoursAgo, Langs.ES); // 'hace 6 horas' (6 hours ago), the used TLP was ES (spanish)
 
// future
ago(inSixHours, Langs.IT); // 'in 6 ore' (in 6 hours), the used TLP was IT (italian)
ago(tomorrow, Langs.IT); // 'domani' (tomorrow), the used TLP was IT (italian)
 
// max unit
ago(inTwoWeeks, Langs.FR);  // 'dans 2 semaines' (in 2 weeks), the used TLP was FR (french)
ago(inTwoWeeks, Langs.FR, 'day'); // 'dans 14 jours' (in 14 days), the used TLP was FR (french)

In cases where you want to translate to only 1 language (like spanish for example) you can only import the required Lang.

const {ago, Langs:{ES}} = require('s-ago-translate')

const now = new Date()

ago(now, ES) // en este momento
