Coda
A collection of date helper functions
Methods
formatDistance
Returns the distance between two dates expressed as an approximate human-readable string.
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| date | date | true | The date to calculate the distance. | |
| baseDate | date | false | now() | The base date used to calculate the distance. |
| includeSeconds | boolean | false | false | Flag to include different values for sub-minute times. |
| locale | string | false | Current 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.
