HTML

<time-ago :refresh="60" :datetime="new Date(2018, 7, 4, 0, 24, 0)" locale="zh_TW" tooltip></time-ago>

Examples

1. locale

Default locale is en, and the library supports en and zh_TW.

<time-ago locale="en"></time-ago> 
<time-ago :locale="locale"></time-ago> use v-bind

export default {
  ...
  data(){
    return{
      locale:"zh_TW",
    }
  },
  ...

<time-ago datetime="2018-08-03 15:47:00"></time-ago>

<time-ago :datetime="1533286641826"></time-ago> timestamp

• Note. Don't bind with new Date() when you use refresh property. Because every time refresh will get a new date value.

  <time-ago :datetime="new Date(2018, 7, 4, 0, 24, 0)"></time-ago>  --> OK
  <time-ago refresh :datetime="new Date()"></time-ago> --> not OK

  If you want use new Date() , just remove datetime property.

  <time-ago refresh></time-ago>

  placement: 'top',
