convert pubDate to x mins ago in javascript

Question

I want to convert pubDate(eg. "Sat, 14 Feb 2015 19:02:00 +0000") from rss to something like "x mins ago" like on twitter posts.

Is there a function which can convert pubDate format to something like "x mins ago"?

Might be an overkill in this case, but if the opportunity show moment.js is just awesome!

Moment.js is a javascript datetime library, to use it for this, you'd do:

moment(yourdate).fromNow()
