public function DateFormatter::formatDiff in Drupal 8

Same name and namespace in other branches
  1. 9 core/lib/Drupal/Core/Datetime/DateFormatter.php \Drupal\Core\Datetime\DateFormatter::formatDiff()

Formats a time interval between two timestamps.

Parameters

int $from: A UNIX timestamp, defining the from date and time.

int $to: A UNIX timestamp, defining the to date and time.

array $options: (optional) An associative array with additional options. The following keys can be used:

  • granularity: An integer value that signals how many different units to display in the string. Defaults to 2.
  • langcode: The language code for the language used to format the date. Defaults to NULL, which results in the user interface language for the page being used.
  • strict: A Boolean value indicating whether or not the $from timestamp can be after the $to timestamp. If TRUE (default) and $from is after $to, the result string will be "0 seconds". If FALSE and $from is after $to, the result string will be the formatted time difference.
  • return_as_object: A Boolean value whether to return a FormattedDateDiff object.

Return value

string|\Drupal\Core\Datetime\FormattedDateDiff A translated string representation of the interval. This interval is always positive.
