Defined in:
lib/tzinfo/timezone.rb

Overview

A proxy class representing a timezone with a given identifier. It can be constructed with an identifier and behaves almost identically to a Timezone loaded through Timezone.get. The first time an attempt is made to perform a conversion on the proxy, the real Timezone class is loaded. If the proxy’s identifier was not valid, then an exception will be thrown at this point.
