RelativeTimeFormat should support compound units

Open sffc opened this issue 5 years ago • 10 comments

We got the following feature request from a Google Search client:

I'm working on a feature … that answers [what time will it be in X minutes/hours].

The UI spec calls for adding a phrase such as "one hour 20 minutes ago" or "in 45 minutes" to the template. In my use case I will have a timestamp for the "current time" … and the number of minutes relative to that that time.

What's the best way to format a relative timespan, such as "one hour 20 minutes ago" … ?
