format datetime to a human form

[W2AlharbiMe]

Hello, i was wondering is there a function in twig like diffForHumans in laravel ?

it should convert the datetime to this format:

53 mins ago
2 hours ago
3 days ago

It's not a laravel function. It's part of carbon PHP package https://carbon.nesbot.com/ .

You should be able to call diffForHumans() on any carbon object in PHP as well as twig. If you're using doctrine, register both datetime and datetime_immutable as carbon objects and all your datetime fields would be instances of Carbon.

See the docs I linked above, it has detailed guide about symfony integration.

Also you can create twig extensions for stuff like converting datetime string to carbon objects (if needed)
