Class Method Details

.bymonthday(year, month, mday) ⇒ Object

Generate an array of dates on mday (the day-of-month, 1-31). For months in which the mday is not present, no date will be generated.

The period is a year, unless month is non-nil, in which case it is just that month.

Compare to Date.new(), which allows a single Date to be created with similar criteria.

# File 'lib/vpim/date.rb', line 205

def DateGen.bymonthday(year, month, mday)
  months = month ? [ month ] : 1..12
  dates = [ ]

  months.each do |m|
    begin
      dates << Date.new(year, m, mday)
    rescue ArgumentError
      # Don't generate dates for invalid combinations (Feb 29, when it's not
      # a leap year, for example).
      #
      # TODO - should we raise when month is out of range, or mday can never
      # be in range (32)?
    end
  end
  dates
end

.bywday(year, month, wday, n = nil) ⇒ Object

Generate an array of dates on wday (the day-of-week, 0-6, where 0 is Sunday).

If n is specified, only the nth occurrence of wday within the period will be generated. If n is positive, the nth occurrence from the beginning of the period will be returned, if negative, the nth occurrence from the end of the period will be returned.

The period is a year, unless month is non-nil, in which case it is just that month.

Examples:

  • DateGen.bywday(2004, nil, 1, 9) => the ninth Sunday in 2004

  • DateGen.bywday(2004, nil, 1) => all Sundays in 2004

  • DateGen.bywday(2004, nil, 1, -2) => second last Sunday in 2004

  • DateGen.bywday(2004, 12, 1) => all sundays in December 2004

  • DateGen.bywday(2004, 2, 2, -1) => last Tuesday in February in 2004

  • DateGen.bywday(2004, -2, 3, -2) => second last Wednesday in November of 2004

Compare to Date.bywday(), which allows a single Date to be created with similar criteria.

.weekofdate(year, mon, day, weekstart) ⇒ Object

Generate an array of a week’s dates, where week is specified by year, mon, day, and the weekstart (the day-of-week that is considered the “first” day of that week, 0-6, where 0 is sunday).
