Mojolicious Time Ago Plugin

This is a simple plugin to provide to mojolicious a way to output DateTime date objects more human readable.

The plugin will give a "time_ago" helper method that when you pass a DateTime it will return a text compatible with date like 'just now' and '2 weeks ago'.

Synopsis

First you have to configure plugin at Mojolicious app startup

    package MyApp;
    use Mojo::Base 'Mojolicious';

    sub startup {
        my $self = shift

        # add time_ago plugin here
        $self->plugin('TimeAgo');

        ...
    }

Now you can use time_ago helper in your Controller...

    package MyApp::Controller::Home;
    use Mojo::Base 'Mojolicious::Controller';

    sub index {
        my $self = shift;

        # more code here
        ...

        return $self->render(
            last_login => $self->time_ago( $user->last_access )
        )
    }

... or you can use at template files

    <h1><%= $post->title %></h1>
    <small><%= $post->subtitle %></small>
    <div><%= $post->content %></div>

    <small><%= time_ago $post->created_at %></small>
