Module ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::DateTime::Calculations::ClassMethods

Public Instance methods

Uses Date to provide precise Time calculations for years, months, and days. The options parameter takes a hash with any of these keys: :years, :months, :weeks, :days, :hours, :minutes, :seconds.

Returns a new DateTime representing the time a number of seconds ago Do not use this method in combination with x.months, use months_ago instead!

at_beginning_of_day()

Alias for beginning_of_day

at_midnight()

Alias for beginning_of_day

Returns a new DateTime representing the start of the day (0:00)

Returns a new DateTime where one or more of the elements have been changed according to the options parameter. The time options (hour, minute, sec) reset cascadingly, so if only the hour is passed, then minute and sec is set to 0. If the hour and minute is passed, then sec is set to 0.

Layers additional behavior on DateTime#<=> so that Time and ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instances can be compared with a DateTime

Returns a new DateTime representing the end of the day (23:59:59)

Tells whether the DateTime object‘s datetime lies in the future

getutc()

Alias for utc

in(seconds)

Alias for since

midnight()

Alias for beginning_of_day

Tells whether the DateTime object‘s datetime lies in the past

Returns a new DateTime representing the time a number of seconds since the instance time Do not use this method in combination with x.months, use months_since instead!

Adjusts DateTime to UTC by adding its offset value; offset is set to 0

Example:

  DateTime.civil(2005, 2, 21, 10, 11, 12, Rational(-6, 24))       # => Mon, 21 Feb 2005 10:11:12 -0600
  DateTime.civil(2005, 2, 21, 10, 11, 12, Rational(-6, 24)).utc   # => Mon, 21 Feb 2005 16:11:12 +0000

Returns true if offset == 0

Returns the offset value in seconds
