Proposal Fixing #55 - future dates

[benyanke]

far from done, but a first step showing an example of what future date handling could look like.

Looking for thoughts to see if I should continue.

Tag #55

Hey @benyanke! What else needs to be done to consider this ready for action? I would love to have this functionality available in the plugin 😄

[egoist]

Maybe we could integrate https://date-fns.org/v1.29.0/docs/distanceInWordsToNow to save a lot of works 😄

[rijkvanzanten]

Great idea @egoist 😄

Do you also plan on replacing the “regular” date ago with date-fns’ distanceInWords?

[egoist]

@rijkvanzanten yeah sure

[rijkvanzanten]

There is one slight problem with the date-fns implementation of distanceInWordsToNow: it doesn't use the actual word ago in the output. E.g. 2 days ago in vue-timeago is rendered as 2 days when using distanceInWordsToNow.

[egoist]

@rijkvanzanten there's an option for that in distanceInWordsToNow

btw this landed in v4 😄

[rijkvanzanten]

Oh nice! Didn't see that in the docs 🙂

Thanks for your awesome OSS work @egoist! ❤️

[benyanke]

Looks like this is resolved, but is there anything else needing to be done to use it, or will it automatically use before/after when specifying :since?

[rijkvanzanten]

@benyanke Automatically based on :since 🙂 (Just tried this in my app + it's in the example)

[benyanke]

Awesome - I must be hitting another bug then.
