coda

v2.0.0 Modules

Coda

A collection of date helper functions

Methods

formatDistance

Returns the distance between two dates expressed as an approximate human-readable string.

NameTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
datedatetrue The date to calculate the distance.
baseDatedatefalsenow()The base date used to calculate the distance.
includeSecondsbooleanfalsefalseFlag to include different values for sub-minute times.
localestringfalseCurrent cbi18n locale.The locale to use for the distance.
coda.formatDistance( "2021-01-01 11:05: 23", "2021-01-01 10:00: 00" );
// "about an hour"

Internationalization

Coda supports the following locales:

  • en_US
  • de_DE

You can contribute a new locale by adding a file to the /resources/i18n/ folder. The file should be named coda_{LANG}(_{LOCALE}).json with _{LOCALE} being optional. cbi18n will use the most specific file found and fall back to more general files if not.

Additionally, please duplicate the FormatDistance_EN_US_Spec.cfc test and change the functions to return the correct translation for your new locale. This ensures we don't mess things up in the future.
