Whenever i post something i use
<%= link_to time_ago_in_words(post.created_at), post_path(post) %>
to display the time ago since the post was created but instead of showing 1 sec, 2 secs etc... it displays 1 min, and continues with minutes
You need to pass true
to time_ago_in_words
's include_seconds
parameter:
time_ago_in_words(post.created_at, true)
See the documentation for distance_of_time_in_words
, which is used by time_ago_in_words
for more detail.
