timeago-js is a small (<1 kb) Javascript library with multilingual support that automatically updates date elements with user friendly statements, such as "just now", "n seconds ago" etc. It offers mul

1. git clone https://github.com/osmanjtekin/timeago-js.git

2. Add type="module" to the script tag, and import {timeago} from "./helpers/timeago-js/timeago.js" to the js file.

By default, the timeago() function:

• Targets all elements with the time class.
• Retrieves the timestamp value (in seconds) from the data-timestamp attribute of the targeted elements.
• Sets the refresh rate to 30 seconds
• Sets the language to English

Custom values can be set with: timeago(<class_name>, <refresh_rate>, <language>).

To include a new language, add a new array containing the localized string to languages.js:

const <language>_<territory> = [
    "<now|one second ago>",    "<seconds ago>",
    "<one minute ago>",        "<minutes ago>",
    "<one hour ago>",          "<hours ago>",
    "<one day ago>",           "<days ago>",
    "<one week ago>",          "<weeks ago>",
    "<one month ago>",         "<months ago>",
    "<one year ago>",          "<years ago>"
  ];

Where:

• language is an ISO 639 language code.
• territory is an ISO 3166 country code. Some examples being it_IT, en_GB, fr_FR.
• odd values are the singular and even values are the plural form

Make sure you add <language>_<territory> to export.
