Supplies TimeOfDay class that includes parsing, strftime, comparison, and arithmetic.
Supplies Shift to represent a period of time, using a beginning and ending TimeOfDay. Allows to calculate its duration and to determine if a TimeOfDay is included inside the shift. For nightly shifts (when beginning time is greater than ending time), it supposes the shift ends the following day.
gem install tod
require 'tod'
Tod::TimeOfDay.new 8 # => 08:00:00
Tod::TimeOfDay.new 8, 15, 30 # => 08:15:30
Strings only need to contain an hour. Minutes, seconds, AM or PM, and colons are all optional.
Tod::TimeOfDay.parse "8" # => 08:00:00
Tod::TimeOfDay.parse "8am" # => 08:00:00
Tod::TimeOfDay.parse "8pm" # => 20:00:00
Tod::TimeOfDay.parse "8p" # => 20:00:00
Tod::TimeOfDay.parse "9:30" # => 09:30:00
Tod::TimeOfDay.parse "15:30" # => 15:30:00
Tod::TimeOfDay.parse "3:30pm" # => 15:30:00
Tod::TimeOfDay.parse "1230" # => 12:30:00
Tod::TimeOfDay.parse "3:25:58" # => 03:25:58
Tod::TimeOfDay.parse "515p" # => 17:15:00
Tod::TimeOfDay.parse "151253" # => 15:12:53
Tod::TimeOfDay.parse "noon" # => 12:00:00
Tod::TimeOfDay.parse "midnight" # => 00:00:00
Tod::TimeOfDay.parse raises an ArgumentError if the argument to parse is not parsable. Tod::TimeOfDay.try_parse will instead return nil if the argument is not parsable.
Tod::TimeOfDay.try_parse "3:30pm" # => 15:30:00
Tod::TimeOfDay.try_parse "foo" # => nil
Values can be tested with Tod::TimeOfDay.parsable? to see if they can be parsed.
Tod::TimeOfDay.parsable? "3:30pm" # => true
Tod::TimeOfDay.parsable? "foo" # => false
Seconds can be added to or subtracted Tod::TimeOfDay objects. Time correctly wraps around midnight.
Tod::TimeOfDay.new(8) + 3600 # => 09:00:00
Tod::TimeOfDay.new(8) - 3600 # => 07:00:00
Tod::TimeOfDay.new(0) - 30 # => 23:59:30
Tod::TimeOfDay.new(23,59,45) + 30 # => 00:00:15
Tod::TimeOfDay includes Comparable.
Tod::TimeOfDay.new(8) < Tod::TimeOfDay.new(9) # => true
Tod::TimeOfDay.new(8) == Tod::TimeOfDay.new(9) # => false
Tod::TimeOfDay.new(9) == Tod::TimeOfDay.new(9) # => true
Tod::TimeOfDay.new(10) > Tod::TimeOfDay.new(9) # => true
Format strings are passed to Time#strftime.
Tod::TimeOfDay.new(8,30).strftime("%H:%M") # => "08:30"
Tod::TimeOfDay.new(17,15).strftime("%I:%M %p") # => "05:15 PM"
Tod::TimeOfDay.new(22,5,15).strftime("%I:%M:%S %p") # => "10:05:15 PM"
Pass a date to Tod::TimeOfDay#on and it will return a time with that date and time.
tod = Tod::TimeOfDay.new 8, 30 # => 08:30:00
tod.on Date.today # => 2010-12-29 08:30:00 -0600
Tod offers Date#at and Time#to_time_of_day. Require 'tod/core_extensions' to enable.
require 'tod/core_extensions'
tod = Tod::TimeOfDay.new 8, 30 # => 08:30:00
Date.today.at tod # => 2010-12-29 08:30:00 -0600
Time.now.to_time_of_day # => 16:30:43
DateTime.now.to_time_of_day # => 16:30:43
Tod provides a conversion method which will handle a variety of input types:
Tod::TimeOfDay(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(8, 30)) # => 08:30:00
Tod::TimeOfDay("09:45") # => 09:45:00
Tod::TimeOfDay(Time.new(2014, 1, 1, 12, 30)) # => 12:30:00
Tod::TimeOfDay(Date.new(2014, 1, 1)) # => 00:00:00
Tod::Shift is a range-like object that represents a period of time, using a beginning and ending Tod::TimeOfDay. Allows to calculate its duration and to determine if a Tod::TimeOfDay is included inside the shift. For nightly shifts (when beginning time is greater than ending time), it supposes the shift ends the following day. Tod::Shift behaves like a Ruby range in that it defaults to inclusive endings. For exclusive endings, pass true as the third argument (like a Ruby range).
Tod::Shift.new(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(9), Tod::TimeOfDay.new(17))
Tod::Shift.new(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(22), Tod::TimeOfDay.new(4))
Tod::Shift.new(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(9), Tod::TimeOfDay.new(17)).duration # => 28800
Tod::Shift.new(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(20), Tod::TimeOfDay.new(2)).duration # => 21600
Tod::Shift.new(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(9), Tod::TimeOfDay.new(17)).include?(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(12)) # => true
Tod::Shift.new(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(9), Tod::TimeOfDay.new(17)).include?(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(7)) # => false
Tod::Shift.new(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(20), Tod::TimeOfDay.new(4)).include?(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(2)) # => true
Tod::Shift.new(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(20), Tod::TimeOfDay.new(4)).include?(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(18)) # => false
#include? respects exclusive endings.
Tod::Shift.new(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(5), Tod::TimeOfDay.new(9)).include?(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(9)) # => true
Tod::Shift.new(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(5), Tod::TimeOfDay.new(9), true).include?(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(9)) # => false
breakfast = Tod::Shift.new(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(8), Tod::TimeOfDay.new(11))
lunch = Tod::Shift.new(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(10), Tod::TimeOfDay.new(14))
breakfast.overlaps?(lunch) # => true
lunch.overlaps?(breakfast) # => true
dinner = Tod::Shift.new(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(18), Tod::TimeOfDay.new(20))
dinner.overlaps?(lunch) # => false
# Exclude ending
morning_shift = Tod::Shift.new(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(9), Tod::TimeOfDay.new(17), true)
evening_shift = Tod::Shift.new(Tod::TimeOfDay.new(17), Tod::TimeOfDay.new(1), true)
morning_shift.overlaps?(evening_shift) # => false
workday = Shift.new(TimeOfDay.new(9), TimeOfDay.new(17))
lunch = Shift.new(TimeOfDay.new(10), TimeOfDay.new(14))
workday.contains?(lunch) # => true
lunch.contains?(workday) # => false
dinner = Shift.new(TimeOfDay.new(18), TimeOfDay.new(20))
dinner.overlaps?(lunch) # => false
If Rails time zone support is loaded, Date#on and Tod::TimeOfDay#at will automatically use Time.zone.
Tod::TimeOfDay implements a custom serialization contract for ActiveRecord serialize which allows to store Tod::TimeOfDay directly in a column of the time type. Example:
class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
serialize :time, Tod::TimeOfDay
end
order = Order.create(time: Tod::TimeOfDay.new(9,30))
order.time # => 09:30:00Tod includes optional serialization support for Tod::TimeOfDay to be serialized to MongoDB.
require 'tod/mongoization'
Tod has a new focus on not polluting the global namespace.
Tod no longer puts Tod::TimeOfDay and Tod::Shift in the global namespace by default. You can either fully qualify access to these classes or include Tod in the global namespace.
require 'tod'
include Tod # TimeOfDay and Shift are now in the global namespace like in versions prior to 2.0.0
Tod no longer automatically extends the Time and Date classes. Require them explicitly.
require 'tod/core_extensions'
tod = Tod::TimeOfDay.new 8, 30 # => 08:30:00
Date.today.at tod # => 2010-12-29 08:30:00 -0600
Time.now.to_time_of_day # => 16:30:43
DateTime.now.to_time_of_day # => 16:30:43
Tod no longer automatically includes MongoDB serialization methods in Tod::TimeOfDay. Require them explicitly.
require 'tod/mongoization'
Tod is compatible with Ruby 1.9.3, 2.0.0, 2.1.8, and 2.2.0. It is tested against Rails 3.2, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2.
