Functions

func CustomRelTime

func CustomRelTime(a, b time.Time, albl, blbl string, magnitudes []RelTimeMagnitude) string

CustomRelTime formats a time into a relative string.

It takes two times two labels and a table of relative time formats. In addition to the generic time delta string (e.g. 5 minutes), the labels are used applied so that the label corresponding to the smaller time is applied.

func RelTime

func RelTime(a, b time.Time, albl, blbl string) string

RelTime formats a time into a relative string.

It takes two times and two labels. In addition to the generic time delta string (e.g. 5 minutes), the labels are used applied so that the label corresponding to the smaller time is applied.

RelTime(timeInPast, timeInFuture, "earlier", "later") -> "3 weeks earlier"

func Time

func Time(then time.Time) string

Time formats a time into a relative string.

Time(someT) -> "3 weeks ago"

Types

type RelTimeMagnitude

type RelTimeMagnitude struct {
	D      time.Duration
	Format string
	DivBy  time.Duration
}

A RelTimeMagnitude struct contains a relative time point at which the relative format of time will switch to a new format string. A slice of these in ascending order by their "D" field is passed to CustomRelTime to format durations.

The Format field is a string that may contain a "%s" which will be replaced with the appropriate signed label (e.g. "ago" or "from now") and a "%d" that will be replaced by the quantity.

The DivBy field is the amount of time the time difference must be divided by in order to display correctly.

e.g. if D is 2*time.Minute and you want to display "%d minutes %s" DivBy should be time.Minute so whatever the duration is will be expressed in minutes.
