Pretty duration

Use the

<PrettyDuration /> component (for JSX display) or usePrettyDuration() hook (for attribute strings) to convert a start and end date string to a human-friendly format. Both utilities take the following props:

  • timeFrom and timeTo accept start and end date values for the duration. These can be timestamps (2018-01-17T18:57:57.149Z) or relative times (now-15m).

  • dateFormat specifies the output date/time format.

  • quickRanges optionally accepts an array of quick range values that are used to pretty format custom ranges. If no custom quick ranges are passed, EUI will default to a set of common duration ranges defined below.
