Overview

TimeMath is a small library for easy time units arithmetics (like "floor the timestamp to the nearest hour", "advance the time value by 3 days" and so on).

It has clean and easy-to-remember API, just like this:

TimeMath.day.floor(Time.now)
# or
TimeMath[:day].floor(Time.now)

TimeMath[unit] and TimeMath.<unit> give you an instance of time unit, which incapsulates most of the functionality. Refer to Units::Base to see what you can get of it.

See also TimeMath() method in global namespace, it is lot of fun!

Class Method Details

.[](unit) ⇒ Units::Base

Main method to do something with TimeMath. Returns an object representing some time measurement unit. See TimeMath::Units::Base documentation to know what you can do with it.

Returns:



43
44
45
 
# File 'lib/time_math.rb', line 43

def [](unit)
  Units.get(unit)
end

.day ⇒ Units::Base

Shortcut to get day unit.

Returns:



75
76
77
 
# File 'lib/time_math.rb', line 75

Units.names.each do |unit|
  define_singleton_method(unit) { Units.get(unit) }
end

.hour ⇒ Units::Base

Shortcut to get hour unit.

Returns:



75
76
77
 
# File 'lib/time_math.rb', line 75

Units.names.each do |unit|
  define_singleton_method(unit) { Units.get(unit) }
end

.measure(from, to, options = {}) ⇒ Hash

Measures distance between two time values in all units at once.

Just like this:

birthday = Time.parse('1983-02-14 13:30')

TimeMath.measure(birthday, Time.now)
# => {:years=>33, :months=>3, :weeks=>2, :days=>0, :hours=>1, :minutes=>25, :seconds=>52}

Parameters:

  • from (Time, Date, DateTime)
  • to (Time, Date, DateTime)
  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    options

Options Hash (options):

  • :weeks (Boolean) —

    pass false to exclude weeks from calculation;

  • :upto (Symbol) —

    pass max unit to use (e.g. if you'll pass :day, period would be measured in days, hours, minutes and seconds).

Returns:

  • (Hash)
