timeago is a jQuery plugin that converts ISO 8601 timestamps embedded in HTML into automatically updating fuzzy relative times like '4 minutes ago'. It supports many locales and settings such as cutoff, allowFuture, and allowPast.

Use cases

  • display relative timestamps like '4 minutes ago' on a webpage
  • automatically refresh timestamps without reloading the page
  • show comment or post ages in a jQuery web app
  • localize fuzzy time strings in many languages
  • enable full page caching by rendering timestamps client-side

When to choose

  • your project already uses jQuery
  • you need simple, localized, auto-updating relative timestamps in HTML
  • you want server-side page caching with client-side time rendering

When to avoid

  • your app does not use jQuery
  • you need a framework-agnostic or modern vanilla JS solution
  • you need timezone-aware date formatting beyond fuzzy relative times
