# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/date_time/conversions.rb, line 69
def self.civil_from_format(utc_or_local, year, month = 1, day = 1, hour = 0, min = 0, sec = 0)
  if utc_or_local.to_sym == :local
    offset = ::Time.local(year, month, day).utc_offset.to_r / 86400
  else
    offset = 0
  end
  civil(year, month, day, hour, min, sec, offset)
end

Returns DateTime with local offset for given year if format is local else offset is zero.

DateTime.civil_from_format :local, 2012

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/date_time/calculations.rb, line 10
def current
  ::Time.zone ? ::Time.zone.now.to_datetime : ::Time.now.to_datetime
end

Returns Time.zone.now.to_datetime when Time.zone or config.time_zone are set, otherwise returns Time.now.to_datetime.

Public Instance Methods

<=>(other) Show source
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/date_time/calculations.rb, line 204
def <=>(other)
  if other.respond_to? :to_datetime
    super other.to_datetime rescue nil
  else
    super
  end
end

Layers additional behavior on DateTime#<=> so that Time and ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instances can be compared with a DateTime.

Calls superclass method
acts_like_date?() Show source

  true
end

Duck-types as a Date-like class. See Object#acts_like?.

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/date_time/acts_like.rb, line 13
def acts_like_time?
  true

Duck-types as a Time-like class. See Object#acts_like?.

advance(options) Show source
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/date_time/calculations.rb, line 78
def advance(options)
  unless options[:weeks].nil?
    options[:weeks], partial_weeks = options[:weeks].divmod(1)
    options[:days] = options.fetch(:days, 0) + 7 * partial_weeks
  end

  unless options[:days].nil?
    options[:days], partial_days = options[:days].divmod(1)
    options[:hours] = options.fetch(:hours, 0) + 24 * partial_days
  end

  seconds_to_advance = \
    options.fetch(:seconds, 0) +
    options.fetch(:minutes, 0) * 60 +

  if seconds_to_advance.zero?
    datetime_advanced_by_date
  else
    datetime_advanced_by_date.since(seconds_to_advance)
  end
end

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.

def ago(seconds)
  since(-seconds)
end

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!

Adding your own datetime formats to to_formatted_s

DateTime formats are shared with Time. You can add your own to the Time::DATE_FORMATS hash. Use the format name as the hash key and either a strftime string or Proc instance that takes a time or datetime argument as the value.

# config/initializers/time_formats.rb
Time::DATE_FORMATS[:month_and_year] = '%B %Y'
Time::DATE_FORMATS[:short_ordinal] = lambda { |time| time.strftime("%B #{time.day.ordinalize}") }
Also aliased as: to_fs
to_fs(format = :default)
Alias for: to_formatted_s
to_i() Show source
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/date_time/conversions.rb, line 84
def to_i
  seconds_since_unix_epoch.to_i
end

Converts self to an integer number of seconds since the Unix epoch.

to_time() Show source
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/date_time/compatibility.rb, line 15
def to_time
  preserve_timezone ? getlocal(utc_offset) : getlocal
end

def usec
  (sec_fraction * 1_000_000).to_i
end

  )
end

Returns a Time instance of the simultaneous time in the UTC timezone.
