Get a time ago human friendly string from a date (like dates in twitter).

timeago.js

const MINUTE = 60,
  HOUR = MINUTE * 60,
  DAY = HOUR * 24,
  YEAR = DAY * 365;

function getTimeAgo(date) {
  const secondsAgo = Math.round((+new Date() - date) / 1000);

  if (secondsAgo < MINUTE) {
    return secondsAgo + "s";
  } else if (secondsAgo < HOUR) {
    return Math.floor(secondsAgo / MINUTE) + "m";
  } else if (secondsAgo < DAY) {
    return Math.floor(secondsAgo / HOUR) + "h";
  } else if (secondsAgo < YEAR) {
    return date.toLocaleString("default", { day: "numeric", month: "short" });
  } else {
    return date.toLocaleString("default", { year: "numeric", month: "short" });
  }
}

Problem is it'll return "1 seconds ago". Here's my modified version:

const MINUTE = 60;
const HOUR = MINUTE * 60;
const DAY = HOUR * 24;
const WEEK = DAY * 7;
const MONTH = DAY * 30;
const YEAR = DAY * 365;

function getTimeAgo(date) {
  const secondsAgo = Math.round((Date.now() - Number(date)) / 1000);

  if (secondsAgo < MINUTE) {
    return secondsAgo + ` second${secondsAgo !== 1 ? "s" : ""} ago`;
  }

  let divisor;
  let unit = "";

  if (secondsAgo < HOUR) {
    [divisor, unit] = [MINUTE, "minute"];
  } else if (secondsAgo < DAY) {
    [divisor, unit] = [HOUR, "hour"];
  } else if (secondsAgo < WEEK) {
    [divisor, unit] = [DAY, "day"];
  } else if (secondsAgo < MONTH) {
    [divisor, unit] = [WEEK, "week"];
  } else if (secondsAgo < YEAR) {
    [divisor, unit] = [MONTH, "month"];
  } else {
    [divisor, unit] = [YEAR, "year"];
  }

  const count = Math.floor(secondsAgo / divisor);
  return `${count} ${unit}${count > 1 ? "s" : ""} ago`;
}
