How to use

To use the Prettydate plug-in, you need to have ISO8601 dates in the title: 

<a title="2008-01-28T20:24:17Z">January 28th, 2008</a> <a title="2008-01-27T22:24:17Z">January 27th, 2008</a> <a title="2008-01-26T22:24:17Z">January 26th, 2008</a>

Then apply the prettyDate method to them: 

$(function() { $("a").prettyDate(); });

To localize the plug-in, please override the properties in $.prettyDate.messages. Here, take German localization as an example: 

$.prettyDate.messages = { now: "gerade eben", minute: "vor einer Minute", minutes: $.prettyDate.template("vor {0} Minuten"), hour: "vor einer Stunde", hours: $.prettyDate.template("vor {0} Stunden"), yesterday: "Gestern", days: $.prettyDate.template("vor {0} Tagen"), weeks: $.prettyDate.template("vor {0} Wochen") }

The plug-in updates each selected element every 10 seconds. In this way, "just now" will become "1 minute ago", then "x minutes ago", then "1 hour ago", and so on.

You can disable interval updates by specifying the interval option as "false": 

$(function() { $("a").prettyDate({ interval: false }); });

Or set a different time interval, for example: interval: 1000, which updates each page every one second Selected element: 

$(function() { $("a").prettyDate({ interval: 1000 }); });

value option reads the ISO8601 date string in the title attribute by default. Override this option to use other properties, for example, a custom "isodate" property: 

$(function() { 
	$("a").prettyDate({function() { // "this" 是 DOM 元素return $(this).attr("isodate");} 
	}); });
