É uma função Javascript nativa para atualizar automaticamente os timestamps difusos (por exemplo, ” 8 minutos atrás “).
Você pode testá-lo em http://jsfiddle.net/goker/3J9Dz/ ou http://codepen.io/goker/pen/yBEGD
HTML
<abbr class="timeago" title="2011-12-17T09:24:17Z">2 years ago</abbr>
<abbr class="timeago" title="December 17, 2012">6 months ago</abbr>
<time class="timeago" datetime="2013-01-17T09:24:17Z">5 months ago</time>
<span class="timeago" title="1372218564">about 20 hours ago</span>
Javascript
(function timeAgo(selector) {
var templates = {
prefix: "",
suffix: " ago",
seconds: "less than a minute",
minute: "about a minute",
minutes: "%d minutes",
hour: "about an hour",
hours: "about %d hours",
day: "a day",
days: "%d days",
month: "about a month",
months: "%d months",
year: "about a year",
years: "%d years"
};
var template = function(t, n) {
return templates[t] && templates[t].replace(/%d/i, Math.abs(Math.round(n)));
};
var timer = function(time) {
if (!time)
return;
time = time.replace(/.d+/, ""); // remove milliseconds
time = time.replace(/-/, "/").replace(/-/, "/");
time = time.replace(/T/, " ").replace(/Z/, " UTC");
time = time.replace(/([+-]dd):?(dd)/, " $1$2"); // -04:00 -> -0400
time = new Date(time * 1000 || time);
var now = new Date();
var seconds = ((now.getTime() - time) * .001) >> 0;
var minutes = seconds / 60;
var hours = minutes / 60;
var days = hours / 24;
var years = days / 365;
return templates.prefix + (
seconds < 45 && template('seconds', seconds) ||
seconds < 90 && template('minute', 1) ||
minutes < 45 && template('minutes', minutes) ||
minutes < 90 && template('hour', 1) ||
hours < 24 && template('hours', hours) ||
hours < 42 && template('day', 1) ||
days < 30 && template('days', days) ||
days < 45 && template('month', 1) ||
days < 365 && template('months', days / 30) ||
years < 1.5 && template('year', 1) ||
template('years', years)
) + templates.suffix;
};
var elements = document.getElementsByClassName('timeago');
for (var i in elements) {
var $this = elements[i];
if (typeof $this === 'object') {
$this.innerHTML = timer($this.getAttribute('title') || $this.getAttribute('datetime'));
}
}
// update time every minute
setTimeout(timeAgo, 60000);
})();
Você pode usar o plugin jQuery timeAgo para isso também. Mas ele não pode lidar com Unix Timestamp .
