Template::Plugin::FriendlyDelta - A Template Toolkit plugin filter to show a human friendly time delta between a supplied date and now
In your template: [% USE FriendlyDelta %] [% '2014-09-09T12:23:07' | friendlydelta %] or [% '2014-09-09T12:23:07' | friendlydelta($custom_format_hash) %]
See above for use in your templates. You can also pass two arguments: a hash to change the display, and a modifier for when you want to use custom plurals.
Structure of the format / display hash: my $format_hash = { month => { 1 => 'January', 2 => 'February', 3 => 'March', 4 => 'April', 5 => 'May', 6 => 'June', 7 => 'July', 8 => 'August', 9 => 'September', 10 => 'October', 11 => 'November', 12 => 'December' }, unit => { m => 'minute', h => 'hour', d => 'day', }, return_format => '$quantity $duration ago' }
If you do your own string replacement for plurals in $format_hash->{'return_format'}, pass 1 after: [% '2014-09-09T12:23:07' | friendlydelta($format_hash, 1) %]
