A Derby JS component for keeping track of the current time.
This is useful for formatting timestamps relative to a reference time.
For example, showing the times: "About a minute ago" and "2 days ago".
$ npm install d-current-time --save
Create a view:
<index: element="curent-time">
<!-- empty -->
Associate your view with the component:
app.component('current-time', require('d-current-time'));
Use the component:
<!-- update _page.currentTime every 10 seconds -->
<current-time path="#root._page.currentTime" period="10000"></current-time>
path – Required. The path that the current time will be written to.
period – How often the current time should be updated. Defaults to 1000 milliseconds.
