Usage

Use the amp-timeago component to count up to, or away from, a specified date and time.

The component replaces the text node with a fuzzy timestamp, such as in 30 years or 3 hours ago.

Example:

<amp-timeago
  layout="fixed"
  width="160"
  height="20"
  datetime="2017-04-11T00:37:33.809Z"
  locale="en"
>
  Saturday 11 April 2017 00.37
</amp-timeago>

The amp-timeago component requires a placeholder in the text node. The calculated timestamp replaces the placeholder once ready. Use the placeholder as a fallback to display to users if amp-timeago is unable to process the fuzzy timestamp.

Standalone use outside valid AMP documents

Bento allows you to use AMP components in non-AMP pages without needing to commit to fully valid AMP. You can take these components and place them in implementations with frameworks and CMSs that don't support AMP. Read more in our guide Use AMP components in non-AMP pages.

To find the standalone version of amp-timeago, see bento-timeago.
