Showing update time like Twitter's update notification

Question

I am using momentJs for finding difference from now to a specific date as below:

moment([MyDate]).fromNow();

The code gives me results as below:

"a few minutes ago" or "10 hours ago" ...

I tried to change that as below to find difference as seconds

moment([MyDate]).fromNow().asSeconds();

but the code doesn't work.

So I would like to implement codes like Twitter's last update notification. Any suggestion?

Answer 1

If you want to make the diff between 2 dates in seconds : moment().diff(mydate, 'seconds')
