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.

#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)
Date.new(2007, 5, 12).change(year: 2005, month: 1) # => Date.new(2005, 1, 12)

#in_time_zone(zone = ::Time.zone) ⇒ Object

Converts Date to a TimeWithZone in the current zone if Time.zone or Time.zone_default is set, otherwise converts Date to a Time via Date#to_time

Time.zone = 'Hawaii'         # => 'Hawaii'
Date.new(2000).in_time_zone  # => Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 HST -10:00

You can also pass in a TimeZone instance or string that identifies a TimeZone as an argument, and the conversion will be based on that zone instead of Time.zone.

Date.new(2000).in_time_zone('Alaska')  # => Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 AKST -09:00

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

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

This method is aliased to to_s.

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

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

date.to_formatted_s(:short)         # => "10 Nov"
date.to_formatted_s(:long)          # => "November 10, 2007"
date.to_formatted_s(:long_ordinal)  # => "November 10th, 2007"
date.to_formatted_s(:rfc822)        # => "10 Nov 2007"

Adding your own time formats to to_formatted_s

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

    to_default_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                   # => Sat Nov 10 00:00:00 0800 2007
