Time ago in angular moment js

Question

I am using Moment js and Angular Moment js to calculate time ago for my website. Everything is working perfectly except one thing. I don't know whether is it possible or not. I checked their humanize() documentation but didn't find anything usefull.

<span am-time-ago="messagedata.created | amFromUnix"></span>

Result: a day ago but i want 1 day ago. Is it possible? If yes how?

Answer 1

Those messages depend on the locale used by moment.js but you can update the locale to provide a different version of the messages

moment.updateLocale('en', {
    relativeTime : {
        future: "in %s",
        past:   "%s ago",
        s:  "seconds",
        m:  "a minute",
        mm: "%d minutes",
        h:  "an hour",
        hh: "%d hours",
        d:  "a day",
        dd: "%d days",
        M:  "a month",
        MM: "%d months",
        y:  "a year",
        yy: "%d years"
    }
});

with the angular directive, you should be able to configure the moment instance when the application starts

var myapp = angular.module('myapp', ['angularMoment']);
myapp.run(function(amMoment) {
    amMoment.changeLocale(...);
});

you can check the moment.js documentation about customisation for more details
