Constructor Details

#initialize(options) ⇒ Zone

Create a new Timezone object.

Timezone.new(options)

:zone - The actual name of the zone. For example, Australia/Sydney or Americas/Los_Angeles. :lat, :lon - The latitude and longitude of the location. :latlon - The array of latitude and longitude of the location.

If a latitude and longitude is passed in, the Timezone object will do a lookup for the actual zone name and then use that as a reference. It will then load the appropriate json timezone information for that zone, and compile a list of the timezone rules.

def <=> zone #:nodoc:
  utc_offset <=> zone.utc_offset
end

#time(reference) ⇒ Object

Determine the time in the timezone.

timezone.time(reference)

reference - The Time you want to convert.

The reference is converted to a UTC equivalent. That UTC equivalent is then used to lookup the appropriate offset in the timezone rules. Once the offset has been found that offset is added to the reference UTC time to calculate the reference time in the timezone.

#utc_offset(reference = Time.now) ⇒ Object

Get the current UTC offset in seconds for this timezone.

timezone.utc_offset(reference)
