amp-timeago
Introduction
The amp-timeago provides fuzzy timestamps by formatting dates as "X time ago"
Setup
Import the amp-timeago component
<script async custom-element="amp-timeago" src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-timeago-0.1.js"></script>
Basic usage
A simple example showing how long it has been since 14 March, 2017
<amp-timeago class="m1" width="160" height="20" datetime="2017-03-14T00:37:33.809Z">Tuesday 14 March 2017 00.37</amp-timeago>
Different locale
The locale attribute allows you to get an output in a different language. By default the locale is set to en
<amp-timeago class="m1" width="160" height="20" datetime="2017-03-14T00:37:33.809Z" locale="ml">Tuesday 14 March 2017 00.37</amp-timeago>
Dates in the future
The component supports dates in the future as well
<amp-timeago class="m1" width="160" height="20" datetime="2050-03-14T00:37:33.809Z">Monday 14 March 2050 00.37</amp-timeago>
Cutoff time
Cutoff times are useful when it doesn't make sense to display "X time ago" after a threshold. Specify cutoff in seconds
<amp-timeago class="m1" width="160" height="20" datetime="2017-03-14T00:37:33.809Z" cutoff="600">Tuesday 14 March 2017 00.37</amp-timeago>
