string_date_accessors
Get and set dates as strings on ActiveRecord-like objects.
This gem is useful if you don’t want to use Rails’ standard date helpers and would rather set a text format for reading and writing dates and datetimes.
Usage
require 'rubygems'
require 'ostruct'
require 'string_date_accessors'
StringDateAccessors.date_format = '%d/%m/%y'
class Lady < OpenStruct
include StringDateAccessors
string_date_accessors :birthday, :dying_day
end
thatcher = Lady.new
thatcher.birthday = '10/1/09'
puts thatcher.birthday.day
puts thatcher.birthday.month
puts thatcher.birthday.year
thatcher. = 'not dead yet'
puts thatcher.
puts thatcher.invalid_date_accessors.inspect
The above outputs:
10
1
2009
not dead yet
[:dying_day]
Installation
It’s on gemcutter (gem install string_date_accessors). It requires active_support.
Note on Patches/Pull Requests
-
Fork the project.
-
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
-
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
-
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but
bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
-
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
