Overview

Parse natural language dates and times into Time or Chronic::Span objects.

Examples:

require 'chronic'

Time.now   #=> Sun Aug 27 23:18:25 PDT 2006

Chronic.parse('tomorrow')
  #=> Mon Aug 28 12:00:00 PDT 2006

Chronic.parse('monday', :context => :past)
  #=> Mon Aug 21 12:00:00 PDT 2006

Class Method Details

.construct(year, month = 1, day = 1, hour = 0, minute = 0, second = 0, offset = nil) ⇒ Object

Construct a new time object determining possible month overflows and leap years.

year - Integer year. month - Integer month. day - Integer day. hour - Integer hour. minute - Integer minute. second - Integer second.

Returns a new Time object constructed from these params.

.parse(text, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Parses a string containing a natural language date or time.

If the parser can find a date or time, either a Time or Chronic::Span will be returned (depending on the value of ‘:guess`). If no date or time can be found, `nil` will be returned.

text - The String text to parse. opts - An optional Hash of configuration options passed to Parser::new.
