current() click to toggle source

Returns Time.zone.now when Time.zone or config.time_zone are set, otherwise just returns Time.now.

# File lib/active_support/core_ext/time/calculations.rb, line 30
def current
  ::Time.zone ? ::Time.zone.now : ::Time.now

  if !time_zone || time_zone.is_a?(ActiveSupport::TimeZone)

use_zone(time_zone) { || ... } click to toggle source

Allows override of Time.zone locally inside supplied block; resets Time.zone to existing value when done.

# File lib/active_support/core_ext/time/zones.rb, line 44
def use_zone(time_zone)
  new_zone = find_zone!(time_zone)
  begin
    old_zone, ::Time.zone = ::Time.zone, new_zone

  end
end
zone() click to toggle source

Returns the TimeZone for the current request, if this has been set (via ::zone=). If Time.zone has not been set for the current request, returns the TimeZone specified in config.time_zone.

# File lib/active_support/core_ext/time/zones.rb, line 12
def zone
  Thread.current[:time_zone] || zone_default
end
zone=(time_zone) click to toggle source

Sets Time.zone to a TimeZone object for the current request/thread.

This method accepts any of the following:

  • A Rails TimeZone object.

  • An identifier for a Rails TimeZone object (e.g., “Eastern Time (US & Canada)”, -5.hours).

  • A TZInfo::Timezone object.

  • An identifier for a TZInfo::Timezone object (e.g., “America/New_York”).

Here's an example of how you might set Time.zone on a per request basis and reset it when the request is done. current_user.time_zone just needs to return a string identifying the user's preferred time zone:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  around_filter :set_time_zone

  def set_time_zone
    if logged_in?
      Time.use_zone(current_user.time_zone) { yield }
    else
      yield
    end
  end
end
# File lib/active_support/core_ext/time/zones.rb, line 39

  Thread.current[:time_zone] = find_zone!(time_zone)

advance(options) click to toggle source

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

change(options) click to toggle source

Returns a new Time where one or more of the elements have been changed according to the options parameter. The time options (:hour, :min, :sec, :usec, :nsec) reset cascadingly, so if only the hour is passed, then minute, sec, usec and nsec is set to 0. If the hour and minute is passed, then sec, usec and nsec is set to 0. The options parameter takes a hash with any of these keys: :year, :month, :day, :hour, :min, :sec, :usec :nsec. Path either :usec or :nsec, not both.
