Humanize

Morrow can describe date-time distances in English and apply those distances back to a base value.

Humanize​

from std.collections import List

var present = Morrow(2026, 1, 1, 12, 0, 0, 0, TimeZone.from_utc("UTC"))

print(present.shift(hours=2).humanize(present))

var granularity = List[String]()
granularity.append("hour")
granularity.append("minute")

print(present.shift(minutes=66).humanize(present, granularity=granularity))

Use only_distance=True to omit the direction phrase.

Dehumanize​

var present = Morrow(2026, 1, 1, 12, 0, 0, 0, TimeZone.from_utc("UTC"))

print(present.dehumanize("2 days ago"))
print(present.dehumanize("in a minute and 6 seconds"))

Supported units include years, quarters, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
