Using phoenix_html_simplified_helpers with a date

I have a user model:

defmodule AddressBook.User do
  use AddressBook.Web, :model

  schema "users" do
    field :last_name, :string
    field :birthday, Ecto.Date
[...]

I want to use https://github.com/ikeikeikeike/phoenix_html_simplified_helpers to render time_ago_in_words for the birthday:

<%= time_ago_in_words user.birthday %> ago

But that results in this error:

Screenshot of the error

How can I fix this?

It looks like that package does not support Ecto.Date, only Ecto.DateTime, Timex.DateTime, or raw seconds offset. This should work:

<%= time_ago_in_words Ecto.DateTime.from_date(user.birthday) %> ago
