class ActiveSupport::Duration
Provides accurate date and time measurements using Date#advance and Time#advance, respectively. It mainly supports the methods on Numeric.
1.month.ago # equivalent to Time.now.advance(months: -1)
Attributes
Public Class Methods
Creates a new Duration from string formatted according to ISO 8601 Duration.
See ISO 8601
for more information. This method allows negative parts to be present in
pattern. If invalid string is provided, it will raise
ActiveSupport::Duration::ISO8601Parser::ParsingError
.
# File lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 141 def self.parse(iso8601duration) parts = ISO8601Parser.new(iso8601duration).parse! time = ::Time.current new(time.advance(parts) - time, parts) end
Public Instance Methods
Adds another Duration or a Numeric to this Duration. Numeric values are treated as seconds.
# File lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 21 def +(other) if Duration === other Duration.new(value + other.value, @parts + other.parts) else Duration.new(value + other, @parts + [[:seconds, other]]) end end
Returns true
if other
is also a Duration instance with the same
value
, or if other == value
.
# File lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 50 def ==(other) if Duration === other other.value == value else other == value end end
Calculates a new Time or Date that is as far in the past as this Duration represents.
# File lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 115 def ago(time = ::Time.current) sum(-1, time) end
Returns true
if other
is also a Duration instance, which has the same parts as
this one.
# File lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 92 def eql?(other) Duration === other && other.value.eql?(value) end
# File lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 96 def hash @value.hash end
Build ISO 8601 Duration string for this
duration. The precision
parameter can be used to limit
seconds' precision of duration.
# File lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 149 def iso8601(precision: nil) ISO8601Serializer.new(self, precision: precision).serialize end
Calculates a new Time or Date that is as far in the future as this Duration represents.
# File lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 108 def since(time = ::Time.current) sum(1, time) end
Returns the number of seconds that this Duration represents.
1.minute.to_i # => 60 1.hour.to_i # => 3600 1.day.to_i # => 86400
Note that this conversion makes some assumptions about the duration of some periods, e.g. months are always 30 days and years are 365.25 days:
# equivalent to 30.days.to_i 1.month.to_i # => 2592000 # equivalent to 365.25.days.to_i 1.year.to_i # => 31557600
In such cases, Ruby's core Date and Time should be used for precision date and time arithmetic.
# File lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 86 def to_i @value.to_i end
Returns the amount of seconds a duration covers as a string. For more information check #to_i method.
1.day.to_s # => "86400"
# File lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 62 def to_s @value.to_s end
