Instance Method Details

#day(*days_of_month) ⇒ Object

Return a temporal expression that matches any date that falls on a day of the month given in the argument list. Examples:

day(1)       # Match any date that falls on the 1st of any month
day(1, 15)   # Match any date that falls on the 1st or 15th of any month

# File 'lib/texp/dsl.rb', line 15

def day(*days_of_month)
  TExp::DayOfMonth.new(days_of_month)
end

#dow(*dow) ⇒ Object

Return a temporal expression matching the given days of the week.

Examples:

dow(2)                 # Match any date on a Tuesday
dow("Tuesday")         # Match any date on a Tuesday
dow(:mon, :wed, :fr)   # Match any date on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday

# File 'lib/texp/dsl.rb', line 155

def dow(*dow)
  TExp::DayOfWeek.new(normalize_dows(dow))
end

#evaluate_expression_in_environment(&block) ⇒ Object

Evaluate a temporal expression in the TExp environment. Redirect missing method calls to the containing environment.

def every(n, unit, start_date=Date.today)
  value = apply_units(unit, n)
  TExp::DayInterval.new(start_date, value)
end

#month(*month) ⇒ Object

Return a temporal expression that matches any date in the list of given months.

Examples:

month(2)              # Match any date in February
month(2, 8)           # Match any date in February or August
month("February")     # Match any date in February
month("Sep", "Apr", "Jun", "Nov")
                      # Match any date in any month with 30 days.

      result.push(apply_units(arg, result.pop))
    else
      fail ArgumentError, "Unabled to recognize #{arg.inspect}"
    end
  end

#on(*args) ⇒ Object

:call-seq:

on(day, month)
on(day, month_string)
on(day, month, year)
on(day, month_string, year)
on(date)
on(date_string)
on(time)
on(object_with_to_date)
on(object_with_to_s)

Return a temporal expression that matches a particular date of the year. The temporal expression will be pinned to a particular year if a year is given (either explicity as a parameter or implicitly via a Date object). If no year is given, then the temporal expression will match that date in any year.

If only a single argument is given, then the argument may be a string (which is parsed), a Date, a Time, or an object that responds to to_date. If the single argument is none of the above, then it is converted to a string (via to_s) and given to Date.parse().

Invalid arguments will cause on to throw an ArgumentError exception.

Examples:

The following examples all match Feb 14 of any year.

on(14, 2)
on(14, "February")
on(14, "Feb")
on(14, :feb)

The following examples all match Feb 14 of the year 2008.

on(14, 2, 2008)
on(14, "February", 2008)
on(14, "Feb", 2008)
on(14, :feb, 2008)
on("Feb 14, 2008")
on(Date.new(2008, 2, 14))

end

#week(*weeks) ⇒ Object

Return a temporal expression that matches any date in the specified week of the month. Days 1 through 7 are considered the first week of the month; days 8 through 14 are the second week; and so on.

The week is specified by a numeric argument. Negative arguments are calculated from the end of the month (e.g. -1 would request the last 7 days of the month). The symbols :first, :second, :third, :fourth, :fifth, and :last are also recognized.

Examples:

week(1)       # Match any date in the first 7 days of any month.
week(1, 2)    # Match any date in the first or second 7 days of any month.
week(:first)  # Match any date in the first 7 days of any month.
week(:last)   # Match any date in the last 7 days of any month.

#year(*years) ⇒ Object

Return a temporal expression that matches the given list of years.

Examples:

year(2008)              # Match any date in 2008
year(2000, 2004, 2008)  # Match any date in any of the three years
