  • Using [MomentJS](https://momentjs.com/) is recommended here. See [this section](https://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/fromnow/) specifically. – 31piy May 29 '18 at 04:56
  • Is it possible?? Of course it is. A little bit of web searching would get you numerous approaches to get a good start point from – charlietfl May 29 '18 at 04:56
  • you need to calculate difference between current timestamp (Date.now()) and your given timestamp and then round it to the time units you need, hours in your example. Rounding can be greedy, so you round to the largest unit of time that fits inside the range. – twinmind May 29 '18 at 04:57

You can use momentjs for this 

moment("2018-05-29T04:12:35Z").fromNow()      //an hour ago

See this for reference

Try this. 

 console.log(moment("2018-05-29T04:12:35Z").fromNow());
 console.log(moment(new Date()).fromNow());
 console.log(moment("2018-05-29T05:12:35Z").fromNow());
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/momentjs/2.13.0/moment.min.js"></script>

and you can get more details if you search moment.js from now in google
