FatCore
fat-core is a simple gem to collect core extensions and a few new classes that I find useful in multiple projects. The emphasis is on extending the Date class to make it more useful in financial applications.
For example, the Date class adds two methods for determining whether a given date is a US federal holiday or a NYSE holiday.
Date.parse('2014-05-18').fed_holiday? => true # It's a weekend
Date.parse('2014-01-01').fed_holiday? => true # It's New Years
All holidays defined by federal statute are recognized.
Likewise, days on which the NYSE is closed can be gotten with:
Date.parse('2014-04-18').nyse_holiday? => true # It's Good Friday
Conversely, Date#fed_workday? and Date#nyse_workday? return true if they are open for business on those days.
