Is there a way to get the TimeDelta in an human-friendly way like "10h26m"?

[frederikhors]

I opened an old project that was using time crate.

I have this code:

let diff = end_date - start_date;

let result = diff.to_string();

and result there is "10h26m".

Now with chrono crate I get something like: "PT15240S".

Is there a way to get the result like with the time crate, in a more human friendly way?

There isn't, currently. The humantime crate exists and I think might do this?

[frederikhors]

I "fixed" with a custom function. Shoud we leave this open?

Probably fine to keep this open, might be useful at some point.

There is what I believe to be a reasonable implementation here that we could copy/adapt:
