Jiff Humanize

Quick Start

use jiff::{Local, Duration};
use jiffy::HumanTime;

let dt = jiff::Zoned::now() + Duration::days(35);
let ht = HumanTime::from(dt);
let english = format!("{}", ht);
assert_eq!("in a month", english);

lib.rs:

Representation for jiff objects in human languages

Quick Start

HumanTime objects are created from jiff objects, such as jiff::DateTime and jiff::Span

Examples

Convert current time taken as now to HumanTime

let dt = jiff::Zoned::now();
let ht = jiffy::HumanTime::from(dt);

assert_eq!("now", format!("{}", ht));

let dt = jiff::Zoned::now().checked_sub(58.minutes()).unwrap()
let ht = jiffy::HumanTime::from(dt);

assert_eq!("an hour ago", format!("{}", ht));

For full control over the text representation use HumanTime::to_text_en()

use jiff::ToSpan;;
use jiffy::{Accuracy, HumanTime, Tense};

let dt = 45.days();
let ht = HumanTime::from(dt);

assert_eq!("a month", ht.to_text_en(Accuracy::Rough, Tense::Present));
assert_eq!("1 month, 2 weeks and 1 day", ht.to_text_en(Accuracy::Precise, Tense::Present));
