Viewslaravel - Carbon | diffForHumans() shorter version?
I'm trying to figure out how to shorten the output from a diffForHumans method provided by the Carbon library in laravel.
The default format of diffForHumans is something like this:(from documentation)
When comparing a value in the past to default now:
5 months ago
1 hour ago
But I want the output to be something like:
- 1 h
- 5 mins
- 5 months
- 2 years
- Just Now
How can I achieve this?

As per the source code for diffForHumans
/**
* Get the difference in a human readable format in the current locale.
*
*
* @param Carbon|null $other
* @param bool $absolute removes time difference modifiers ago, after, etc
* @param bool $short displays short format of time units
*
* @return string
*/
public function diffForHumans(Carbon $other = null, $absolute = false, $short = false) {
...
}
to remove modifiers, pass the second parameter as true and to get shortened version of time pass the third parameter as true

Carbon give you an option to remove 'ago'
$time = \Carbon\Carbon::now()->subMinutes(1)->diffForHumans(null, true)
if you need use like '1 h, 5 mins', just str_replace(['hours', 'minutes'], ['h', 'mins'], $time);
for Just now, you need to specify how long is just now.
