Since it's an extension of NSDate, you should use it like this:
comments.createdAt.timeAgoSinceDate(true)
i got problem with Xcode 8.3. Please have a look onto it. Thank you

could you please tell me how to call this.
let timeAgo:String = NSDate.timeAgoSinceDate((comments.createdAt)!);
I got error message
