Confluence user macro fromNow() function

[Daz Daz]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to beautify dates or simplify or whatever you call it. Instead of showing absolute datetime like 2019-01-01T08:00:00, it would be better if I show 5 days ago or Yesterday or 5 minutes ago and the likes. 

I am using Scriptrunner for JIRA and it is using groovy scripts. For .net I can use moment.js but not too sure for groovy script. If possible I do not want to do it the hard way and have hundred lines of code/logic just to translate absolute datetime to relative datetime. 

Any kind soul knows how to do this?

Did you mean Scriptrunner for Confluence? Is this a question about Confluence or Jira? Also, user macros use velocity, not Groovy, so I'm unsure how you are trying to use ScriptRunner with a user macro if this is indeed for Confluence. What date specifically do you want to show as relative?
