Instance Method Details

#advance(options) ⇒ Object

Uses Date to provide precise Time calculations for years, months, and days. The options parameter takes a hash with any of these keys: :years, :months, :weeks, :days, :hours, :minutes, :seconds.

  d = to_date.advance(options)
  datetime_advanced_by_date = change(:year => d.year, :month => d.month, :day => d.day)
  seconds_to_advance = (options[:seconds] || 0) + (options[:minutes] || 0) * 60 + (options[:hours] || 0) * 3600
  seconds_to_advance == 0 ? datetime_advanced_by_date : datetime_advanced_by_date.since(seconds_to_advance)
end

#ago(seconds) ⇒ Object

Returns a new DateTime representing the time a number of seconds ago Do not use this method in combination with x.months, use months_ago instead!

297
298
 
# File 'lib/standard/facets/date.rb', line 296

def ago(seconds)
  self.since(-seconds)
end

#beginning_of_day ⇒ Object Also known as: midnight

Returns a new DateTime representing the start of the day (0:00)

# File 'lib/standard/facets/date.rb', line 308

def beginning_of_day
  change(:hour => 0)
end

#change(options) ⇒ Object

Returns a new DateTime where one or more of the elements have been changed according to the options parameter. The time options (hour, minute, sec) reset cascadingly, so if only the hour is passed, then minute and sec is set to 0. If the hour and minute is passed, then sec is set to 0.

end

#since(seconds) ⇒ Object Also known as: in

#stamp(format = :default) ⇒ Object

Convert to a formatted string. See Time::FORMAT for predefined formats.

This method is aliased to to_s.

datetime = DateTime.civil(2007,12,4,0,0,0,0)   # Tue, 04 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000

datetime.stamp(:db)            # => "2007-12-04 00:00:00"
datetime.stamp(:db)            # => "2007-12-04 00:00:00"
datetime.stamp(:number)        # => "20071204000000"
datetime.stamp(:short)         # => "04 Dec 00:00"
datetime.stamp(:long)          # => "December 04, 2007 00:00"
datetime.stamp(:rfc822)        # => "Tue, 04 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000"

Adding your own datetime formats to stamp

DateTime formats are shared with Time. You can add your own to the Time::FORMAT hash. Use the format name as the hash key and a strftime string as the value. Eg.

Time::FORMAT[:month_and_year] = "%B %Y"

end

#to_date ⇒ Object

Converts self to a Ruby Date object; time portion is discarded

216
 
# File 'lib/standard/facets/date.rb', line 214

def to_date
  ::Date.new(year, month, day)
end

#to_datetime ⇒ Object

To be able to keep Times, Dates and DateTimes interchangeable on conversions

229
 
# File 'lib/standard/facets/date.rb', line 227

def to_datetime
  self
end

#to_f ⇒ Object

Converts self to a floating-point number of seconds since the Unix epoch

349
 
# File 'lib/standard/facets/date.rb', line 346

def to_f
  days_since_unix_epoch = self - ::DateTime.civil(1970)
  (days_since_unix_epoch * 86_400).to_f
end

#to_time ⇒ Object

Attempts to convert self to a Ruby Time object; returns self if out of range of Ruby Time class. If self has an offset other than 0, self will just be returned unaltered, since there’s no clean way to map it to a Time.



222
223
224
 
# File 'lib/standard/facets/date.rb', line 222

def to_time
  self.offset == 0 ? ::Time.utc_time(year, month, day, hour, min, sec) : self
end

#utc ⇒ Object Also known as: getutc

Adjusts DateTime to UTC by adding its offset value; offset is set to 0

Example:

DateTime.civil(2005,2,21,10,11,12,Rational(-6, 24))      # Mon, 21 Feb 2005 10:11:12 -0600
DateTime.civil(2005,2,21,10,11,12,Rational(-6, 24)).utc  # Mon, 21 Feb 2005 16:11:12 +0000



325
326
327
 
# File 'lib/standard/facets/date.rb', line 325

def utc
  new_offset(0)
end

#utc? ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if offset == 0

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


331
332
333
 
# File 'lib/standard/facets/date.rb', line 331

def utc?
  offset == 0
end

#utc_offset ⇒ Object

Returns the offset value in seconds



336
337
338
 
# File 'lib/standard/facets/date.rb', line 336

def utc_offset
  (offset * 86400).to_i
end

#xmlschema ⇒ Object

Converts datetime to an appropriate format for use in XML

343
 
# File 'lib/standard/facets/date.rb', line 341

def xmlschema
  strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%Z")
