app/components/example.gts

import type { TOC } from '@ember/component/template-only';
import { formatRelativeTime } from 'ember-intl';

interface ExampleSignature {
  Args: {};
}

const Example: TOC<ExampleSignature> = <template>
  Past: {{formatRelativeTime -1}}
  Now: {{formatRelativeTime 0}}
  Future: {{formatRelativeTime 3}}
</template>;

options.format

In app/ember-intl.{js,ts}, you can use the formatRelativeTime key to define the formats that you want to reuse for the helper. Pass the name of your format to format.

app/components/example.gts

import type { TOC } from '@ember/component/template-only';
import { formatRelativeTime } from 'ember-intl';

interface ExampleSignature {
  Args: {};
}

const Example: TOC<ExampleSignature> = <template>
  {{formatRelativeTime -1 format="compact"}}
</template>;

export default Example;

app/ember-intl.ts

import type { Formats } from 'ember-intl';

export const formats: Formats = {
  formatRelativeTime: {
    compact: {
      style: 'narrow',
    },
  },
};

options.locale

You can display the text in another locale (i.e. independently from the user's preferred locale). Pass the name of the locale to locale.

app/components/example.gts

import type { TOC } from '@ember/component/template-only';
import { formatRelativeTime } from 'ember-intl';

interface ExampleSignature {
  Args: {};
}

  <div lang="en-us">
    {{formatRelativeTime -1 locale="en-us"}}
  </div>

  <div lang="de-de">
    {{formatRelativeTime -1 locale="de-de"}}
  </div>
</template>;
