Calendar Module: 46 minutes = "in 1 hour": How to change the way relative time is shown?

[todsandberg]

Appointment starts in X minutes [how can we adjust what is shown? and when it switches from hours to minutes]

I would like to change magic mirror settings to show relative time is displayed in the calendar module.
I have spent 1-2 hours trying things to solve this, seemingly simple, challenge, without a solution yet. Are you able to solve it?

Example:

• Current time is 11:43
• Appointment at 12:30

Current state:

• Appointment starts in 1 hour (even though it is LESS than 1 hour)

.
Desired behavior:

• Appointment starts in 47 minutes

It seems like this moment setting holds the key, but I haven’t been able to get it to work. (or find the right file location (or setting)to change)
moment.relativeTimeThreshold(‘s’, 40);

“Bonus points” for a solution that shows relative time to work with minutes >60… (example: 90 minutes left or 1h 30m left)

Any help is greatly appreciated!

@todsandberg well, its here in calendar.js. line 329-331

 							if (event.startDate - now < this.config.getRelative * oneHour) {
								// If event is within 6 hour, display 'in xxx' time format or moment.fromNow()
								timeWrapper.innerHTML = this.capFirst(moment(event.startDate, "x").fromNow());

fixed up i think

							if (event.startDate - now < this.config.getRelative * oneHour) {
								// If event is within 6 hour, display 'in xxx' time format or moment.fromNow()
                                                                var m = moment(event.startDate, "x")
                                                                if(this.config.timeThreshold!=undefined){
                                                                    m.relativeTimeThreshold( 
                                                                         this.config.timeThreshold.unit,
                                                                         this.config.timeThreshold.limit);
                                                                }
								timeWrapper.innerHTML = this.capFirst(m.fromNow());

with the config item

timeThreshold: {unit:minutes,limit:55},

altho to get the right formatting, it might take overriding the fromNow method
like this (for example, from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41508796/moment-js-how-to-use-fromnow-to-return-everything-in-hours)

moment.fn.fromNow = function (a) {
    var duration = moment().diff(this, 'hours');
    return duration;
}

@sdetweil said in Calendar Module: 46 minutes = "in 1 hour": How to change the way relative time is shown?:

timeThreshold: {unit:minutes,limit:55},

Thank you, I have tried your code and will keep trying to get it to work.

@todsandberg does it make any diffference?
