FluidTime

Stop formatting time like a C-anderthal. Craft human readable time formats like building a sentence.

FluidTime.new('2012/04/10 21:22').month.day.th.comma.space.xs.year.txt('@').time.xz.xs.pm.lower.zone.to_s
# "April 10th, 2012 @ 9:22pm PDT"

FluidTime.new(Time.now).to_s
FluidTime.new(Date.today).to_s
FluidTime.new("21:22:00").to_s

Strip zeros, ordinalize, and change case with ease:

FluidTime.new.time.pm.zone.to_s
# 09:51:29 PM PDT

FluidTime.new.time.xz.xs.pm.down.zone.to_s
# 9:51:51pm PDT

FluidTime.new.date.hour.colon.min.ytt.xs.pm.down.to_s
# 04/11/2012 01:46pm

FluidTime.new.date.hour.colon.min.ytt.xs.pm.down.to_s   # ytt - replaces date with yesterday, today, tomorrow
# Today 01:45pm

Remember to end your chains with .to_s or use interpolation "Today is #FluidTime.new.weekday.upper"

Contributing to fluid-time

  • Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
  • Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it.
  • Fork the project.
  • Start a feature/bugfix branch.
  • Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
  • Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
