DateRange
Ruby port of Perl's Date::Range which makes it easy to work with a range of dates.
This is faster than working with Ruby's built in support for using Date
s with Range
s because it just compares the start and end dates rather than converting the whole range to an enumerable.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'date-range', require: 'date_range'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install date-range
Usage
require 'date_range'
range = DateRange.new(date1, date2);
if range.include?(date3)
# ...
end
if range.include?(range2)
# ...
end
if range.overlaps(range2)
range3 = range.overlap(range2)
end
