//JavaScript函數(shù)：
var minute = 1000 * 60;
var hour = minute * 60;
var day = hour * 24;
var halfamonth = day * 15;
var month = day * 30;
function getDateDiff(dateTimeStamp){
var now = new Date().getTime();
var diffValue = now - dateTimeStamp;
if(diffValue < 0){
 //若日期不符則彈出窗口告之
 //alert("結(jié)束日期不能小于開始日期！");
 }
var monthC =diffValue/month;
var weekC =diffValue/(7*day);
var dayC =diffValue/day;
var hourC =diffValue/hour;
var minC =diffValue/minute;
if(monthC>=1){
 result="發(fā)表于" + parseInt(monthC) + "個月前";
 }
 else if(weekC>=1){
 result="發(fā)表于" + parseInt(weekC) + "周前";
 }
 else if(dayC>=1){
 result="發(fā)表于"+ parseInt(dayC) +"天前";
 }
 else if(hourC>=1){
 result="發(fā)表于"+ parseInt(hourC) +"個小時前";
 }

若你得到的時間格式不是時間戳，可以使用下面的JavaScript函數(shù)把字符串轉(zhuǎn)換為時間戳, 本函數(shù)的功能相當(dāng)于JS版的strtotime：

復(fù)制代碼代碼如下:

//js函數(shù)代碼：字符串轉(zhuǎn)換為時間戳
function getDateTimeStamp(dateStr){
 return Date.parse(dateStr.replace(/-/gi,"/"));
}

實例2：

復(fù)制代碼代碼如下:

<script>       
function jsDateDiff(publishTime){       
    var d_minutes,d_hours,d_days;       
    var timeNow = parseInt(new Date().getTime()/1000);       
    var d;       
    d = timeNow - publishTime;       
    d_days = parseInt(d/86400);       
    d_hours = parseInt(d/3600);       
    d_minutes = parseInt(d/60);       
    if(d_days>0 && d_days<4){       
        return d_days+"天前";       
    }else if(d_days<=0 && d_hours>0){       
        return d_hours+"小時前";       
    }else if(d_hours<=0 && d_minutes>0){       
        return d_minutes+"分鐘前";       
    }else{       
        var s = new Date(publishTime*1000);       
        // s.getFullYear()+"年";
        return (s.getMonth()+1)+"月"+s.getDate()+"日";       
    }       
}       
</script>

二、jquery插件實現(xiàn)

HTML代碼：

復(fù)制代碼代碼如下:

<span class="time timeago" title="<fmt:formatDate value="${comment.createAt}" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"/>"></span>

調(diào)用代碼：

復(fù)制代碼代碼如下:

jQuery("span.timeago").timeago();

插件源碼：

復(fù)制代碼代碼如下:

(function (factory) {
  if (typeof define === 'function' && define.amd) {
    // AMD. Register as an anonymous module.
    define(['jquery'], factory);
  } else {
    // Browser globals
    factory(jQuery);
  }
}(function ($) {
  $.timeago = function(timestamp) {
