.zone=(time_zone) ⇒ Object

Sets Time.zone to a TimeZone object for the current request/thread.

This method accepts any of the following:

  • A Rails TimeZone object.

  • An identifier for a Rails TimeZone object (e.g., “Eastern Time (US & Canada)”, -5.hours).

  • A TZInfo::Timezone object.

  • An identifier for a TZInfo::Timezone object (e.g., “America/New_York”).

Here’s an example of how you might set Time.zone on a per request basis and reset it when the request is done. current_user.time_zone just needs to return a string identifying the user’s preferred time zone:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  around_filter :set_time_zone

  def set_time_zone
    old_time_zone = Time.zone
    Time.zone = current_user.time_zone if logged_in?
    yield
  ensure
    Time.zone = old_time_zone
  end

This method is similar to Time#localtime, except that it uses Time.zone as the local zone instead of the operating system’s time zone.

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.

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

Converts to a formatted string. See DATE_FORMATS for builtin formats.

This method is aliased to to_s.

time.to_formatted_s(:time)          # => "06:10"

time.to_formatted_s(:rfc822)        # => "Thu, 18 Jan 2007 06:10:17 -0600"

Adding your own time formats to to_formatted_s

You can add your own formats 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 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}") }
