Convert UTC Datetime Into Human Readable Format - UTC-time

The UTC-time jQuery plugin automatically converts ISO formatted UTC time (last 60 days) into a human readable, auto updating string: x days/hours/minutes/seconds ago.

How to use it:

1. Insert the minified version of the jQuery UTC-time plugin after jQuery.

<script src="/path/to/cdn/jquery.slim.min.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/dist/jquery-utc-time.min.js"></script>

2. Insert the UTC time into the data-utc-time attribute.

<p data-utc-time="01/15/2020 05:00:00 AM"></p>

3. Initialize the jQuery UTC-time plugin and done.

new UtcTime({
  daysAgo: ' Days Ago',
  hoursAgo: ' Hours Ago',
  minutesAgo: ' Minutes Ago',
  secondsAgo: ' Seconds Ago'
});

4. This will output the human readable time in the p.

<p data-utc-time="01/15/2020 05:00:00 AM">
  31 hours ago
</p>

5. If the the number of days you provide is greater than 60 days:

<!-- Converts ... -->
<p data-utc-time="11/7/2017 05:00:00 AM"></p>

<!-- Into ... -->
<p data-utc-time="11/7/2017 05:00:00 AM">
  2017/11/7
</p>

6. Change the default data attribute:

new UtcTime({
  attr: 'data-utc-time'
});

7. Customize the date format:

new UtcTime({
  format: 'yyyy MM dd hh:mm:ss',
});

8. More configurations.

new UtcTime({
  disableAgo: false,
  onSet: function (obj) { },
  disableAutoUpdate: false
});
