Fuzzytime jquery time prettifying plugin

What it does

There are two kinds of times that you can pull out of fuzzytime

  1. a fuzzy time:
    • less than an hour ago
    • a couple of days ago
  2. an implicit time
    • 5 minutes ago
    • 3 weeks ago

Use:

include the jquery.fuzzytime.js or jquery.fuzzytime.min.js after your jquery script inclusion in your html <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.3/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.fuzzytime.min.js"></script>

send your Twitter, Facebook, Unix or Javascript formatted timestamp to the $.fuzzytime() function var myFaceBookDate = '2010-10-19T02:57:48+0000'; var myPrettyTime = $.fuzzytime(myFaceBookDate) // returns something like 'a couple weeks ago'

to make the date explicit ex. '35 minutes ago', send a value of true as the second argument to $.fuzzytime() var myTwitterDate = 'Tue Oct 19 14:01:57 +0000 2010'; var myPrettyImplicitTime = $.fuzzytime(myTwitterDate,true); // returns something like '3 days ago'

TODO

  • Future doesn't yet work. I ran out of time. Pun intended.
  • Tests!!! This development driven testing needs to stop. I'm soooo lazy.
