Module: Runt::TExpr

Included in:
AfterTE, BeforeTE, Collection, DIMonth, DIWeek, DayIntervalTE, Diff, EveryTE, REDay, REMonth, REWeek, REYear, TemporalDate, WIMonth, WeekInterval, YearTE
Defined in:
lib/runt/temporalexpression.rb

Overview

‘TExpr’ is short for ‘TemporalExpression’ and are inspired by the recurring event pattern[http://martinfowler.com/apsupp/recurring.pdf] described by Martin Fowler. Essentially, they provide a pattern language for specifying recurring events using set expressions.

    yield Intersect.new.add(self).add(arg)
  end

end

#dates(date_range, limit = 0) ⇒ Object

Contributed by Emmett Shear: Returns an Array of Date-like objects which occur within the supplied DateRange. Will stop calculating dates once a number of dates equal to the optional attribute limit are found. (A limit of zero will collect all matching dates in the date range.)

end

#include?(date_expr) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true or false depending on whether this TExpr includes the supplied date expression.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
