time_since is a collection of Liquid filters that return the elapsed time since a date or date and time. The filters are years_since, months_since, days_since, hours_since, minutes_since and seconds_since.

Installation

Add the following highlighted line to your Jekyll project's Gemfile, within the jekyll_plugins group:

Shell
group :jekyll_plugins do 
  gem 'jekyll_time_since'
end

And then execute:

Shell
$ bundle

Usage Examples

These tags all work in a similar manner; they accept one parameter, which is either a date string (YYYY-MM-dd) or an ISO 8601-1:2019 datetime string (YYYY-MM-ddThh:mm). Just a year can be specified, which implies Jan 1 at midnight.

The date and time strings can be surrounded with quotes or double quotes. Time zone can be omitted, or specified as GMT, Z, or +/- HHMM/code>.
