背景

博客中发表的文章日期怎么才能更好的显示给用户？其实微薄或朋友圈中常常会使用的日期显示格式如：刚刚、5分钟内、1小时前等，今天就来给大家分享一个友好展示日期的python函数

思路

根据日期参数与当前时间做对比，然后返回特定格式的字符串即可

实现

def pretty_date(time=False):
    """
    Get a datetime object or a int() Epoch timestamp and return a
    pretty string like 'an hour ago', 'Yesterday', '3 months ago',
    'just now', etc
    """
    from datetime import datetime
    now = datetime.now()
    if type(time) is int:
        diff = now - datetime.fromtimestamp(time)
    elif isinstance(time,datetime):
        diff = now - time
    elif not time:
        diff = now - now
    second_diff = diff.seconds
    day_diff = diff.days

    if day_diff < 0:
        return ''

    if day_diff == 0:
        if second_diff < 10:
            return "just now"
        if second_diff < 60:
            return str(second_diff) + " seconds ago"
        if second_diff < 120:
            return "a minute ago"
        if second_diff < 3600:
            return str(int(second_diff / 60)) + " minutes ago"
        if second_diff < 7200:
            return "an hour ago"
        if second_diff < 86400:
            return str(int(second_diff / 3600)) + " hours ago"
    if day_diff == 1:
        return "Yesterday"
    if day_diff < 7:
        return str(day_diff) + " days ago"
    if day_diff < 31:
        return str(int(day_diff / 7)) + " weeks ago"
    if day_diff < 365:
        return str(int(day_diff / 30)) + " months ago"
    return str(int(day_diff / 365)) + " years ago"
