What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A small React component that renders a date as a live-updating 'time ago' string (e.g. '5 minutes ago'), updating only as often as needed. It supports many languages via built-in string formatters and an Intl-based formatter for any locale.

Use cases

  • show relative timestamps like '5 minutes ago' in a React app
  • display live-updating comment or post timestamps
  • format time-ago strings in multiple languages
  • localize relative dates using Intl RelativeTimeFormat
  • minimize re-renders for aging timestamps

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight, drop-in React component for relative timestamps
  • you want multi-language or Intl-based relative time formatting
  • you care about performance and minimal re-renders

When to avoid

  • you are not using React
  • you need full date formatting (calendars, timezones) rather than time-ago strings
  • you need a framework-agnostic vanilla JS solution
