Filament Relative Time

A Filament v4 table column powered by @github/relative-time-element, bundled locally with esbuild. It renders relative, absolute (Intl) or duration values in the user's time zone (or a forced IANA time zone), with a SSR fallback.

Documentation

Since v1.1 the column reuses the native TextColumn view, so helpers like alignment(), wrap(), copyable state, descriptions, etc. keep working while the formatted value is swapped with <relative-time>.

Quick install

composer require relisiuol/filament-relative-time
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=filament-relative-time

Enable the plugin on your panel:

use Relisiuol\FilamentRelativeTime\RelativeTimePlugin;

public function panel(\Filament\Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel->plugins([
        RelativeTimePlugin::make(),
    ]);
}

Column usage

use Relisiuol\FilamentRelativeTime\Columns\RelativeTimeColumn as RT;

RT::make('created_at')
  ->label('Created')
  ->format('relative')          // relative | datetime | duration
  ->precision('minute')         // for relative/duration
  ->threshold('P30D')           // ISO8601 – switch to absolute after 30 days
  ->timeZone('auto')            // 'auto' (browser) or 'Europe/Paris'
  ->locale('en-GB')             // otherwise <html lang> / browser
  ->datetimeIntl([              // only when format='datetime'
    'year'           => 'numeric',
    'month'          => 'short',
    'day'            => '2-digit',
    'hour'           => '2-digit',
    'minute'         => '2-digit',
    'time-zone-name' => 'short',
  ])
  ->formatStyle('short')        // 'long' | 'short' | 'narrow'
  ->tense('auto')               // 'auto' | 'past' | 'future'
  ->absolutePrefix('on')        // override default absolute prefix
  ->noTitle()                   // drop <relative-time> title attribute
  ->elementAttributes(['aria-label'=>'Creation date']);

Need 12-hour output or no timezone suffix? Tweak datetimeIntl(), e.g. swap 'hour' => '2-digit' for 'hour' => 'numeric', add 'second' => '2-digit', drop 'time-zone-name', or opt-in to 'date-style' / 'time-style' presets if your target browsers support them.

Global defaults come from config/filament-relative-time.php. Publish the config and set keys like 'format-style' => 'short' or 'prefix' => '' to apply them across every column, including the default time-zone attribute. All options are defined as null, to use default options from @github/relative-time-element.

Other attributes from the Web Component (e.g. prefix, format-style, tense, no-title) are mapped with dedicated helpers or fall back to elementAttributes([...]) for any edge-case attribute.
