Yii 2 Timeago
=============

[](#yii-2-timeago)

Used to display auto-updating, translated relative dates (e.g. "3 minutes ago") HTML tags using a custom web component. For the previous version build on jQuery, use the version `v1.2.0` constraint in your `composer.json`.

```
composer require davidhirtz/yii2-timeago "^2.1"

```

Usage

Once the extension is installed, simply use it in your view like this:

```

Or use the column helper class in your `\yii\grid\GridView`:

```
[
    'attribute' => 'created_at',
    'class' => \davidhirtz\yii2\timeago\TimeAgoColumn::class,
],
```
