Overview

These methods should work similar to beginning_of_week and friends.

In all these methods, if the optional argument reference_date is not given then the default reference date is used. See BeginningOfFortnight#reference_date.

reference_date can be a Date or a Time object.

– ActiveRecord 2.x puts these methods in a big long name space, ie ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Time::Calculations ActiveSupport 3.x just adds methods directly to Time. Will try the 3.x approach and hopefully it will work okay in 2.x also. ++

def beginning_of_fortnight(reference_date=nil)
  # Can pass in a reference date, otherwise use the configured default
  reference_date ||= BeginningOfFortnight.reference_date

  # The to_time is in case reference_date is passed in as a Date object
  reference_week = reference_date.to_time.beginning_of_week

  # How many weeks since reference week?
  weeks_since_reference = ((self - reference_week) / 1.week).to_i

  #
  # If the reference time is later than self, ie in the future,
  # then we flip the odd/even test here.
  #
  # Some explanation:
  #
  # In this diagram, '|' is a fortnight boundary, '+' is a week boundary and R is the reference week.
  #              R
  #  |  a  +  b  |  c  +  d  |
  #
  # The value of weeks_since_reference for dates at a, b, c and d is as follows:
  #  When self is earlier than reference_date:
  #   a (in first half) : -1, hence odd weeks_since_reference is in first half
  #   b (in second half):  0, hence even weeks_since_reference is in second half (because -0.5.to_i is 0 for example)
  #  When self is later than reference_date:
  #   c (in first half) :  0, hence even weeks_since_reference is in first half
  #   d (in second half):  1, hence odd weeks_since_reference is in second half
  #
  in_first_half = (reference_week > self ? weeks_since_reference.odd? : weeks_since_reference.even?)

  # The value of in_first_half decides which week to use
  (in_first_half ? self : self - 1.week).beginning_of_week
end

#end_of_fortnight(reference_date = nil) ⇒ Object

The end of the fortnight.
