Class Method Details

.beginning_of_week ⇒ Object

Returns the week start (e.g. :monday) for the current request, if this has been set (via Date.beginning_of_week=). If Date.beginning_of_week has not been set for the current request, returns the week start specified in config.beginning_of_week. If no config.beginning_of_week was specified, returns :monday.

def beginning_of_week
  ::ActiveSupport::IsolatedExecutionState[:beginning_of_week] || beginning_of_week_default || :monday
end

.beginning_of_week=(week_start) ⇒ Object

Sets Date.beginning_of_week to a week start (e.g. :monday) for current request/thread.

This method accepts any of the following day symbols: :monday, :tuesday, :wednesday, :thursday, :friday, :saturday, :sunday

# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/date/calculations.rb', line 27

def beginning_of_week=(week_start)
  ::ActiveSupport::IsolatedExecutionState[:beginning_of_week] = find_beginning_of_week!(week_start)
end

.current ⇒ Object

Returns Time.zone.today when Time.zone or config.time_zone are set, otherwise just returns Date.today.

end

.find_beginning_of_week!(week_start) ⇒ Object

Returns week start day symbol (e.g. :monday), or raises an ArgumentError for invalid day symbol.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

end

#advance(options) ⇒ Object

Provides precise Date calculations for years, months, and days. The options parameter takes a hash with any of these keys: :years, :months, :weeks, :days.

The increments are applied in order of time units from largest to smallest. In other words, the date is incremented first by :years, then by :months, then by :weeks, then by :days. This order can affect the result around the end of a month. For example, incrementing first by months then by days:

Date.new(2004, 9, 30).advance(months: 1, days: 1)
# => Sun, 31 Oct 2004

Whereas incrementing first by days then by months yields a different result:

Date.new(2004, 9, 30).advance(days: 1).advance(months: 1)
# => Mon, 01 Nov 2004

#ago(seconds) ⇒ Object

#change(options) ⇒ Object

Returns a new Date where one or more of the elements have been changed according to the options parameter. The options parameter is a hash with a combination of these keys: :year, :month, :day.

Date.new(2007, 5, 12).change(day: 1)               # => Date.new(2007, 5, 1)

#to_fs(format = :default) ⇒ Object Also known as: to_formatted_s

Convert to a formatted string. See DATE_FORMATS for predefined formats.

This method is aliased to to_formatted_s.

date = Date.new(2007, 11, 10)       # => Sat, 10 Nov 2007

date.to_fs(:db)                     # => "2007-11-10"
date.to_formatted_s(:db)            # => "2007-11-10"

date.to_fs(:short)         # => "10 Nov"
date.to_fs(:number)        # => "20071110"
date.to_fs(:long)          # => "November 10, 2007"
date.to_fs(:long_ordinal)  # => "November 10th, 2007"
date.to_fs(:rfc822)        # => "10 Nov 2007"
date.to_fs(:rfc2822)       # => "10 Nov 2007"
date.to_fs(:iso8601)       # => "2007-11-10"

Adding your own date formats to to_fs

You can add your own formats to the Date::DATE_FORMATS hash. Use the format name as the hash key and either a strftime string or Proc instance that takes a date argument as the value.

# config/initializers/date_formats.rb
Date::DATE_FORMATS[:month_and_year] = '%B %Y'
Date::DATE_FORMATS[:short_ordinal] = ->(date) { date.strftime("%B #{date.day.ordinalize}") }

    end
  else
    to_s
  end
end

#to_time(form = :local) ⇒ Object

Converts a Date instance to a Time, where the time is set to the beginning of the day. The timezone can be either :local or :utc (default :local).

date = Date.new(2007, 11, 10)  # => Sat, 10 Nov 2007

date.to_time                   # => 2007-11-10 00:00:00 0800
date.to_time(:local)           # => 2007-11-10 00:00:00 0800

date.to_time(:utc)             # => 2007-11-10 00:00:00 UTC

NOTE: The :local timezone is Ruby’s process timezone, i.e. ENV['TZ']. If the application’s timezone is needed, then use in_time_zone instead.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)
