#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.

DateTime.new(2012, 8, 29, 22, 35, 0).change(day: 1)              # => DateTime.new(2012, 8, 1, 22, 35, 0)

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}") }
