Mojolicious Time Ago Plugin

This is a simple plugin to provide to mojolicious a way to output DateTime date objects more human readable.

The plugin will give a "time_ago" helper method that when you pass a DateTime it will return a text compatible with date like 'just now' and '2 weeks ago'.

Synopsis

First you have to configure plugin at Mojolicious app startup

package MyApp;
use Mojo::Base 'Mojolicious';

sub startup {
    my $self = shift

    # add time_ago plugin here
    $self->plugin('TimeAgo');

    ...
}

Now you can use time_ago helper in your Controller...

package MyApp::Controller::Home;
use Mojo::Base 'Mojolicious::Controller';

sub index {
    my $self = shift;

    # more code here
    ...

    return $self->render(
        last_login => $self->time_ago( $user->last_access )
    )
}

... or you can use at template files

<h1><%= $post->title %></h1>
<small><%= $post->subtitle %></small>
<div><%= $post->content %></div>

<small><%= time_ago $post->created_at %></small>
