# Summary

Uses the jQuery timeago plugin to create dynamically updating "time ago" dates. That is, the plugin turns static dates like "October 10, 2011" into "10 minutes ago" and updates the time ago every minute. This allows you to include "time ago" dates in cached content for most users while degrading gracefully for users with JavaScript disabled.

@saranya purushothaman,

I got a problem with render date in tpl files. You can start as a new project.

Isn't this achievable in Views under formatter?

I npm'd the jquery-timeago library into my theme. I added it to mytheme.libraries.yml. I then used it my custom js. I had to do a template override and add a new datetime format to drupal too. It's not ideal as it's functionality hidden from the backend /admin.

So it's working, but not in an ideal way. Curious if there's been progress from people in this thread they'd be willing to share?
