<h2>a jQuery plugin</h2>
|
|
|
|
<h3>What?</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Timeago is a jQuery plugin that makes it easy to support automatically updating fuzzy
|
|
timestamps (e.g. "4 minutes ago" or "about 1 day ago"). <a href="jquery.timeago.js">Download</a>, view
|
|
the examples, and enjoy.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<noscript><p class="example"><strong>Turn on javascript, loser!</strong></p></noscript>
|
|
<p class="example">
|
|
You opened this page <abbr class="loaded timeago">when you opened the page</abbr>. <span class="help">(This will update every minute. Wait for it.)</span>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="example">
|
|
This page was last modified <abbr class="modified timeago">sometime before now [browser might not support document.lastModified]</abbr>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="example">
|
|
Ryan was born <abbr class="timeago" title="1978-12-18T17:17:00Z">Dec 18, 1978</abbr>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Why?</h3>
|
|
<p>Timeago was originally built for use with <a href="http://yarp.com">Yarp.com</a> to timestamp comments.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Avoid timestamps dated "1 minute ago" even though the page was opened 10 minutes ago; <em>timeago refreshes automatically</em>.</li>
|
|
<li>You can <em>take full advantage of page caching</em> in your web applications, because the timestamps aren't calculated on the server.</li>
|
|
<li>You get to <em>use <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/datetime-design-pattern">microformats</a></em> like the cool kids.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>How?</h3>
|
|
<p class="how">
|
|
First, load <a href="http://jquery.com/">jQuery</a> and the plugin:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<script src="jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
|
|
<script src="jquery.timeago.js" type="text/javascript"></script></pre>
|
|
<p class="how">
|
|
Now, let's attach it to your timestamps on DOM ready:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
|
|
jQuery("abbr.timeago").timeago();
|
|
});</pre>
|
|
<p class="how">
|
|
This will turn all <tt>abbr</tt> elements with a class
|
|
of <tt>timeago</tt> and an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601">ISO 8601</a> timestamp in the title:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<abbr class="<em>timeago</em>" title="<em>2008-07-17T09:24:17Z</em>">July 17, 2008</abbr></pre>
|
|
<p class="how">
|
|
into something like this:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<abbr class="timeago" title="July 17, 2008"><em><abbr class="timeago" title="2008-07-17T09:24:17Z">time ago</abbr></em></abbr></pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
which yields: <abbr class="timeago" title="2008-07-17T09:24:17Z">July 17, 2008</abbr>. As time passes, the timestamps will automatically update.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="how">
|
|
You can also use it programmatically:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
jQuery.timeago(new Date()); //=> "<span id="prog_date"></span>"
|
|
jQuery.timeago("2008-07-17"); //=> "<span id="prog_string"></span>"
|
|
jQuery.timeago(jQuery("abbr#some_id")); //=> "<span id="prog_element"></span>" // [title="2008-07-20"]</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p class="how">
|
|
To support timestamps in the future, use the <tt>allowFuture</tt> setting:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
jQuery.timeago.settings.allowFuture = true;</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Excusez-moi?</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Yes, timeago has locale/i18n/language support. Here are some <a href="http://gist.github.com/6251">configuration examples</a>. Email <a href="http://ryan.mcgeary.org">Ryan McGeary</a> for corrections or additional languages.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Where?</h3>
|
|
<p><a href="jquery.timeago.js">Download the "stable" release</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The code is hosted on
|
|
GitHub: <a href="http://github.com/rmm5t/jquery-timeago">http://github.com/rmm5t/jquery-timeago</a>.
|
|
Go on, live on the edge.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Who?</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Timeago was built by <a href="http://ryan.mcgeary.org">Ryan McGeary</a>
|
|
(<a href="http://twitter.com/rmm5t">@rmm5t</a>) while standing on the
|
|
shoulders of giants. John Resig wrote about
|
|
a <a href="http://ejohn.org/blog/javascript-pretty-date/">similar
|
|
approach</a>. The verbiage was based on
|
|
the <tt>distance_of_time_in_words</tt> ActionView helper
|
|
in <a href="http://rubyonrails.org">Ruby on Rails</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>When?</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Timeago was conceived <abbr class="timeago" title="2008-07-17T02:30:00-0500">on July 17, 2008</abbr>. <span class="help">(Yup, that's powered by timeago too)</span>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>What else?</h3>
|
|
<p class="example">
|
|
HTML5 has a new <tt>time</tt> tag and timeago supports it too.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<time class="<em>timeago</em>" datetime="<em>2008-07-17T09:24:17Z</em>">July 17, 2008</time></pre>
|
|
<p class="how">
|
|
Attach timeago like so:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
|
|
jQuery("time.timeago").timeago();
|
|
});</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Huh?</h3>
|
|
<p class="last">
|
|
Need a Rails helper to make those fancy microformat <tt>abbr</tt> tags? Fine, here ya go:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
def timeago(time, options = {})
|
|
options[:class] ||= "timeago"
|
|
content_tag(:abbr, time.to_s, options.merge(:title => time.getutc.iso8601)) if time
|
|
end</pre>
