Copy this entrypoint first. It includes the imports required to get the component on screen.

svelte
<script lang="ts">
  import '@dryui/ui/themes/default.css';
  import '@dryui/ui/themes/dark.css';
  import { RelativeTime } from '@dryui/ui';
</script>

<RelativeTime>Content</RelativeTime>

Import options

Root package

ts
import { RelativeTime } from '@dryui/ui'

Per-component subpath

ts
import { RelativeTime } from '@dryui/ui/relative-time'

Customize

Use the interactive examples to see common variants, states, and composition patterns before building your own.

Default

svelte
<RelativeTime date={fiveMinutesAgo} />

Various Times

<script lang="ts">
  const fiveMinutesAgo = new Date(Date.now() - 5 * 60 * 1000);
  const twoHoursAgo = new Date(Date.now() - 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
  const yesterday = new Date(Date.now() - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
  const nextWeek = new Date(Date.now() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
