Ageism

Quickly parse age intervals.

This gem was born of a need to allow teachers search for children by age, using an ultra-simple syntax and without complicated and messy drop-down boxes. Given that teachers and admins are thinking in terms of age rather than date of birth, it's important to provide a widget that speaks their language, so the system overall is more fluid and intuitive to use.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ageism'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ageism

Usage

module ApplicationHelper # or wherever you plan to use this
  include Ageism

  ...
    min, max = parse_age_range params[:age_range]
