Save time data to element

Open smizell opened this issue 12 years ago • 6 comments

I was needing to use the time data from this plugin for other calculations, and since it had already calculated seconds, hours, days, and years, I exposed that data along with the datetime in element.data('timeago'). I figured this was better since it was not doing all of those calculations over again.

With this, you can access the data like this (example):

element.data('timeago').datetime // Same as usual
element.data('timeago').inWords; // 3 days ago
element.data('timeago').days; // 3

This also updates the tests.

This looks like it breaks the automatic refreshing of fuzzy timestamps values as time passes each minute.

I believe you're right, as those values are only calculated on the initial creation.

I thought I had fixed it, but I had not. I was looking at the wrong version. Sorry about the confusion.

I'll continue looking at this, but at this point, it's still broken.

@smizell Oh. So sorry. I missed the extra code commit come through. I'll take a peek as soon as I get a chance. Thanks for the nudge.

No problem at all. I wasn't really for sure if you got notified when I did a commit, so I wanted to followup in case.

I also corrected a small mistake where I did not use var with a variable. I just noticed it.

Thanks!
