Method: ActiveSupport::TimeZone#iso8601

Defined in:
activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb

#iso8601(str) ⇒ Object

Method for creating new ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instance in time zone of self from an ISO 8601 string.

Time.zone = 'Hawaii'                     # => "Hawaii"
Time.zone.iso8601('1999-12-31T14:00:00') # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 14:00:00 HST -10:00

If the time components are missing then they will be set to zero.

Time.zone = 'Hawaii'            # => "Hawaii"
Time.zone.iso8601('1999-12-31') # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 00:00:00 HST -10:00

If the string is invalid then an ArgumentError will be raised unlike parse which usually returns nil when given an invalid date string.

def iso8601(str)
  # Historically `Date._iso8601(nil)` returns `{}`, but in the `date` gem versions `3.2.1`, `3.1.2`, `3.0.2`,
  # and `2.0.1`, `Date._iso8601(nil)` raises `TypeError` https://github.com/ruby/date/issues/39
  # Future `date` releases are expected to revert back to the original behavior.
