Humanizing time
- by keruilin
I have a number of products that are perishable. Therefore, each product has an attribute called hours_expiration that tells how many hours the product can be used before it goes bad.
For ex, apple expires in 168 hours; nut expires in 4320 hours.
Given, the product's hours-to-expiration and the current time (Time.now or Date.now), how can I humanize the time-to-expiration in some of the following sample ways?
Your item is set to expire in about:
6 months and 14 days
1 month and 13 days
1 month and 1 day
27 days
1 day
23 hours
1 hour
50 minutes
1 minute
Looking for something robust and simple!
