Timeago will give the timestamp details by comparing it to the past, for example ‘x’ hours ago. In this chapter, let us discuss in detail about this feature.
To insert this feature in our work, we need to add the script given below to the .html page −
<script async custom-element = "amp-timeago" src = "https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-timeago-0.1.js"> </script>
The amp-timeago tag looks as shown below −
<amp-timeago layout = "fixed" width = "160" height = "20" datetime = "2018-10-01T00:37:33.809Z" locale = "en">Monday 01 October 2018 00.37 </amp-timeago>
Let us understand this with the help of a working example as shown below −

<html amp lang = "en">

<script async src = "https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js"></script>

Output
By default, the locale is set to en. We can change the same and display timeago in the locale as needed. Locales which can be used with timeago tag are given in the table shown below.

</amp-timeago>
</body>
</html>
Output
The output of the above code is as shown below −
Incase the “X time ago” display needs to be changed, we can use the “cutoff” attribute with timeago. Cutoff takes values in seconds to get rid of the ago display.
Let us understand this with the help of a working example as given below −
