EasySFT

EasySFT is a simple and easier to use interface to Ruby’s Time.strftime. Using real English words instead of symbols makes the format easier to remember. I started this gem mainly because I could never remember the most common strftime modifiers without having to open up the docs for reference.

Using EasySFT is as easy as:

require ‘easysft’

t = Time.now t.easysft(“Weekday, Month Day, Year, Hour:Minute AMPM TZ”)

would return:

Saturday, December 06, 2008, 01:13 AM CST

It also provides an inline way to use it on the current time:

Time.easysft(“Weekday, Month Day, Year, Hour:Minute AMPM TZ”)

returning the same thing as above.
