You can register new locales at runtime without editing library files.

import Vue from 'vue'
import Vue2Timeago, { addLocale } from 'vue2-timeago'

addLocale('pirate', {
  short: { now: 'arr', sec: 's', min: 'm', hour: 'h', day: 'd' },
  long: {
    now: 'arr',
    sec: (n) => `${n} second${n > 1 ? 's' : ''} arr`,
    min: (n) => `${n} minute${n > 1 ? 's' : ''} arr`,
    hour: (n) => `${n} hour${n > 1 ? 's' : ''} arr`,
    day: (n) => `${n} day${n > 1 ? 's' : ''} arr`,
  },
})

Vue.use(Vue2Timeago)

<time-ago locale="pirate" />

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",
    }
  },
  ...

2. datetime

<time-ago datetime="2018-08-03 15:47:00"></time-ago> 
<time-ago :datetime="new Date(2018, 7, 4, 0, 24, 0)"></time-ago> use v-bind
<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>

<time-ago :tooltip="false"></time-ago> Disabled tooltip

• Default options:

{
  placement: 'top',
  content: {datetime string}

<time-ago tooltip :tooltip-options="tooltipOptions"/>

data () {
  return {
    tooltipOptions: {
      placement: 'bottom',
    }
  }
