README

The Date extension provides the time_diff filter.

time_diff

Use the time_diff filter to render the difference between a date and now.

{{ post.published_at|time_diff }}

The example above will output a string like 4 seconds ago or in 1 month, depending on the filtered date.

Arguments

• date: The date for calculate the difference from now. Can be a string or a DateTime instance.

• now: The date that should be used as now. Can be a string or a DateTime instance. Do not set this argument to use current date.

Translation

To get a translatable output, give a Symfony\Contracts\Translation\TranslatorInterface as constructor argument. The returned string is formatted as diff.ago.XXX or diff.in.XXX where XXX can be any valid unit: second, minute, hour, day, month, year.
