dayjs-twitter

library0.5.0jsnpmunverified

A day.js plugin that formats dates like Twitter (e.g., 'Now', '10s', '1m', '23h', 'Aug 28', 'Aug 28, 2018'). Version 0.5.0 (stable). Lightweight, localized (supports multiple languages), and extends day.js via the plugin system. Different from similar tools like moment-twitter by being day.js-specific and smaller. Release cadence is low; last update was a few years ago.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

dayjsTwitter

✓ import dayjsTwitter from 'dayjs-twitter'

✗ import { dayjsTwitter } from 'dayjs-twitter'

Default export (not named). Ensure dayjs is imported and extended.

dayjs

✓ import dayjs from 'dayjs'

✗ const dayjs = require('dayjs')

ESM import is preferred; CommonJS requires default export handling.

dayjs.extend

✓ dayjs.extend(dayjsTwitter)

✗ dayjsTwitter()

Must call dayjs.extend() with the plugin, not call plugin directly.

Basic usage: extend dayjs with the plugin and call .twitter() on a dayjs object to get relative time strings.

import dayjs from 'dayjs'; import dayjsTwitter from 'dayjs-twitter'; dayjs.extend(dayjsTwitter); console.log(dayjs().twitter()); // 'Now' console.log(dayjs().subtract(10, 'second').twitter()); // '10s' console.log(dayjs().subtract(1, 'minute').twitter()); // '1m' console.log(dayjs().subtract(23, 'hour').twitter()); // '23h' console.log(dayjs().subtract(1, 'day').twitter()); // 'Aug 28' console.log(dayjs().subtract(1, 'year').twitter()); // 'Aug 28, 2018'

Debug

Known issues

gotchadayjs must be imported and extended before calling .twitter().

fix

Ensure dayjs.extend(dayjsTwitter) is called once before usage.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaThe .twitter() method is only available on dayjs instances, not on the dayjs object itself.

fix

Call the method on a dayjs instance, e.g., dayjs().twitter() or dayjs('2020-01-01').twitter().

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaLocalization: if using a locale other than English, ensure dayjs locale is set before calling .twitter().

fix

Set locale via dayjs.locale('es') before using the plugin.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaThe plugin may not work correctly if dayjs version is not compatible. Test with dayjs 1.x.

fix

Use dayjs version 1.x (currently 1.11.x).

affects: >=0.1.0
