For outputting post publishing date or something else you can just pass the date to method trans(). It will count the interval between now and given date and returns needed format. Internally given date will be parsed by strtotime() PHP's internal function.
use Serhii\Ago\TimeAgo;
TimeAgo::trans('now - 10 seconds'); // output: 10 seconds agoAs the seconds argument trans method excepts array of options or single option. Here is an example of passed options.
use Serhii\Ago\Option;
use Serhii\Ago\TimeAgo;
TimeAgo::trans('yesterday'); // output: 1 day ago
TimeAgo::trans('yesterday', Option::NO_SUFFIX); // output: 1 day
TimeAgo::trans('now', Option::ONLINE); // output: online
TimeAgo::trans('now', [Option::ONLINE, Option::UPPER]); // output: ONLINEAll options are available in Serhii\Ago\Option::class as constants.

| Option::ONLINE | Display "Online" if date interval within 60 seconds. After 60 seconds output will be the same as usually "x time ago" format. |
