Function ui2::utils::naive_format_distance

pub fn naive_format_distance(
    date: NaiveDateTime,
    base_date: NaiveDateTime,
    include_seconds: bool,
    add_suffix: bool
) -> String

Get the time difference between two dates into a relative human readable string.

For example, “less than a minute ago”, “about 2 hours ago”, “3 months from now”, etc.

Use naive_format_distance_from_now to compare a NaiveDateTime against now.

Arguments

• date - The NaiveDateTime to compare.
• base_date - The NaiveDateTime to compare against.
• include_seconds - A boolean. If true, distances less than a minute are more detailed
• add_suffix - A boolean. If true, result indicates if the time is in the past or future

Example

use chrono::DateTime;
use ui2::utils::naive_format_distance;

fn time_between_moon_landings() -> String {
    let date = DateTime::parse_from_rfc3339("1969-07-20T00:00:00Z").unwrap().naive_local();
    let base_date = DateTime::parse_from_rfc3339("1972-12-14T00:00:00Z").unwrap().naive_local();
    format!("There was {} between the first and last crewed moon landings.", naive_format_distance(date, base_date, false, false))
}

Output: "There was about 3 years between the first and last crewed moon landings."
