#change(options) ⇒ Object

Returns a new DateTime where one or more of the elements have been changed according to the options parameter. The time options (:hour, :min, :sec) reset cascadingly, so if only the hour is passed, then minute and sec is set to 0. If the hour and minute is passed, then sec is set to 0. The options parameter takes a hash with any of these keys: :year, :month, :day, :hour, :min, :sec, :offset, :start.

#future? ⇒ Boolean

#in_time_zone(zone = ::Time.zone) ⇒ Object

Returns the simultaneous time in Time.zone.

Time.zone = 'Hawaii'             # => 'Hawaii'
DateTime.new(2000).in_time_zone  # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 14:00:00 HST -10:00

This method is similar to Time#localtime, except that it uses Time.zone as the local zone instead of the operating system’s time zone.

You can also pass in a TimeZone instance or string that identifies a TimeZone as an argument, and the conversion will be based on that zone instead of Time.zone.

DateTime.new(2000).in_time_zone('Alaska') # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 15:00:00 AKST -09:00

datetime.to_s(:db)                      # => "2007-12-04 00:00:00"
datetime.to_s(:number)                  # => "20071204000000"
datetime.to_formatted_s(:short)         # => "04 Dec 00:00"
datetime.to_formatted_s(:long)          # => "December 04, 2007 00:00"

Adding your own datetime formats to to_formatted_s

DateTime formats are shared with Time. You can add your own to the Time::DATE_FORMATS hash. Use the format name as the hash key and either a strftime string or Proc instance that takes a time or datetime argument as the value.

# config/initializers/time_formats.rb
Time::DATE_FORMATS[:month_and_year] = '%B %Y'
Time::DATE_FORMATS[:short_ordinal] = lambda { |time| time.strftime("%B #{time.day.ordinalize}") }
