## About

**vue-timeago3** is a tiny component for Vue.js 3, to show the time passed since a specific date. You simply pass a date and get somewhat like `10 seconds ago`, `3 weeks ago`, `...` printed by the component

### Example

| distance to now | result |
| --------------- | ------------------------ |
| 0 - 5 secs | less than 5 seconds ago |
| 5 - 10 secs | less than 10 seconds ago |
| 10 - 20 secs | less than 20 seconds ago |
| 20 - 40 secs | half a minute ago |
| 40 - 60 secs | less than a minute ago |

See [date-fns/formatDistanceToNow](https://date-fns.org/v2.26.0/docs/formatDistanceToNow) for more details.

## Usage

**Visit the [docs](https://mrdeerly.github.io/vue-timeago3/) for more details!**

### Installation

Currently the plugin is available via NPM and Yarn. To install it use one of the two package managers.

```javascript
// NPM
$ npm install vue-timeago3

// Yarn
$ yarn add vue-timeago3
```

### Register Plugin

To register the plugin simply import and register it using the new global vue3 api. As an alternative the plugin could be imported in specific components only.

```javascript
// src/main.ts
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import timeago from 'vue-timeago3'

const app = createApp(App)
...
app.use(timeago) // register timeago
...
app.mount('#app')
```

#### Plugin Options

During the registration of the component you can specify a set of options, which will mutate the plugin **globally**. If you don't want to define global settings, skip this section and use props instead. To use options, simply pass them during the registration as an object:

```javascript
// src/main.ts
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import timeago from 'vue-timeago3'

const app = createApp(App)
...
// define options
const timeagoOptions = {
converterOptions: {
includeSeconds: false,
}
}

app.use(timeago, timeagoOptions) // register timeago with options
...
app.mount('#app')
```

As of version 1.0.0 the following options are available:

| option | type | description |
|-----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **name** | `string` | Register the component with a custom name. Default is: `timeago` |
| **locale** | `Locale` (see [date-fns/Locale](https://date-fns.org/v2.26.0/docs/Locale)) | The `locale` specifies the language which is used to render the date. All available `date-fns` locales are supported by default. |
| **converter** | `(date, defaultConvertOptions \| strictConverterOptions) => string` | A **converter** that formats regular dates in `x Seconds ago`, or in `xxx` style. Check out the [default converter](ahttps://github.com/MrDeerly/vue-timeago3/blob/master/src/defaultConverter.js) which uses [date-fns formatDistanceToNow](https://date-fns.org/v2.24.0/docs/formatDistanceToNow) |
| **defaultConverterOptions** | `Object` | Pass some extra settings to the default converter mentioned above. It supports the main options of `date-fns`, namingly:

`includeSeconds` - `boolean` - distances less than a minute are more detailed `addSuffix` - `boolean` - results specifies if now is earlier or later than the date passed
`useStrict` - `false` - **if `true` you need to use the `strictConverterOptions` (see below)** |
| **strictConverterOptions** | `Object` | Pass some extra settings to the default converter mentioned above. It supports the main options of `date-fns` strict converter, namingly:

`useStrict` - `true` - needs to be `true`, otherwise the `defaultConverterOptions` have to be used (see above) `addSuffix` - `boolean` - results specifies if now is earlier or later than the date passed
`unit` - `second, minute, hour, day, month, year` if specified, will force a unit
`roundingMethod` - `floor, ceil, round` which way to round partial units (default=round) |

### Component

Once the plugin is registered you can straight up use it in your app.

**Basic usage**:

```jsx

...
data() {
return {
date: '2021-09-01'
}
}
...
This can be omitted by setting it to `0` or `false`.

The default value for `true` is `60`(seconds). Instead of passing `true` you can also pass a custom time. |
| **locale** | `Locale` (see [date-fns/Locale](https://date-fns.org/v2.26.0/docs/Locale)) | :x: | `en` | The `locale` specifies the language which is used to render the date. All available `date-fns` locales are supported by default. |
| **converter** | `date, defaultConverterOptions \| strictConverterOptions) => string` | :x: | | See plugin options above |
| **defaultConverterOptions** | `Object` | :x: | | See plugin options above |
| **strictConverterOptions** | `Object` | :x: | | See plugin options above |
