Update as time passes? about ember-moment HOT 6 CLOSED

I agree. I believe it's not rerendering since the underlying value is typically a constant, some moment in time. Perhaps we add some loop to force the rerender?

It makes sense that the value is not updating - I wouldn't expect it to. I only opened this as an 'issue' since it seems the most appropriate place (maybe a PR instead?)

I've started work and have some logic to work out when the value of the {{ago}} helper will change - see https://github.com/jmurphyau/ember-moment/tree/update-as-time-passes.

Using this would help with working out which value should be used in setting Ember.run.later to trigger rerender.. How would you trigger a rerender though? With HTMLBars I call a 'notify' on the stream but this only covers HTMLBars - if theres a 'rerender' type function/trigger that applies across both Handlebars and HTMLBars that might be the way to go.

@jmurphyau I'd be fine if this "rerendering" functionality was only supported on HTMLBars.

I would prefer that this be opt-in behavior, or at least have the ability to be opt-out. I can imagine updating automatically updating timestamps being too distracting in many UIs.

I'm just peeking around on this addon (I have my own moment helpers but wondering what new is out there), the clock or tick pattern is what I use, and I differentiate between live and non-live by exposing duplicate helpers named moment-foo and live-moment-foo

from ember-moment.

I was planning to make it driven by an argument interval. interval 0 by default meaning it will never recalculate. This is also even easier with the new Ember.Helper which has the ability to recompute to trigger a rerender. But I am also not against having separate helpers live vs non-live.
