class ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone
A Time-like class that can represent a time in any time zone. Necessary because standard Ruby Time
instances are limited to UTC and the system's ENV['TZ']
zone.
You shouldn't ever need to create a TimeWithZone
instance directly via new
. Instead use methods local
, parse
, at
and now
on TimeZone
instances, and in_time_zone
on Time
and DateTime
instances.
Time.zone = 'Eastern Time (US & Canada)' # => 'Eastern Time (US & Canada)'
Time.zone.local(2007, 2, 10, 15, 30, 45) # => Sat, 10 Feb 2007 15:30:45.000000000 EST -05:00
Time.zone.parse('2007-02-10 15:30:45') # => Sat, 10 Feb 2007 15:30:45.000000000 EST -05:00
Time.zone.at(1171139445) # => Sat, 10 Feb 2007 15:30:45.000000000 EST -05:00
Time.zone.now # => Sun, 18 May 2008 13:07:55.754107581 EDT -04:00
Time.utc(2007, 2, 10, 20, 30, 45).in_time_zone # => Sat, 10 Feb 2007 15:30:45.000000000 EST -05:00
See Time
and TimeZone
for further documentation of these methods.
TimeWithZone
instances implement the same API as Ruby Time
instances, so that Time
and TimeWithZone
instances are interchangeable.

method_missing(:+, other)
else
result = utc.acts_like?(:date) ? utc.since(other) : utc + other rescue utc.since(other)
result.in_time_zone(time_zone)
end
end
Adds an interval of time to the current object's time and returns that value as a new TimeWithZone
object.
Time.zone = 'Eastern Time (US & Canada)' # => 'Eastern Time (US & Canada)'
now = Time.zone.now # => Sun, 02 Nov 2014 01:26:28.725182881 EDT -04:00
now + 1000 # => Sun, 02 Nov 2014 01:43:08.725182881 EDT -04:00
If we're adding a Duration
of variable length (i.e., years, months, days), move forward from time
, otherwise move forward from utc
, for accuracy when moving across DST boundaries.
For instance, a time + 24.hours will advance exactly 24 hours, while a time + 1.day will advance 23-25 hours, depending on the day.
now + 24.hours # => Mon, 03 Nov 2014 00:26:28.725182881 EST -05:00
now + 1.day # => Mon, 03 Nov 2014 01:26:28.725182881 EST -05:00
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/time_with_zone.rb, line 327

method_missing(:-, other)
else
result = utc.acts_like?(:date) ? utc.ago(other) : utc - other rescue utc.ago(other)
result.in_time_zone(time_zone)
end
end
Subtracts an interval of time and returns a new TimeWithZone
object unless the other value `acts_like?` time. Then it will return a Float
of the difference between the two times that represents the difference between the current object's time and the other
time.
Time.zone = 'Eastern Time (US & Canada)' # => 'Eastern Time (US & Canada)'
now = Time.zone.now # => Mon, 03 Nov 2014 00:26:28.725182881 EST -05:00
now - 1000 # => Mon, 03 Nov 2014 00:09:48.725182881 EST -05:00
If subtracting a Duration
of variable length (i.e., years, months, days), move backward from time
, otherwise move backward from utc
, for accuracy when moving across DST boundaries.
For instance, a time - 24.hours will go subtract exactly 24 hours, while a time - 1.day will subtract 23-25 hours, depending on the day.
now - 24.hours # => Sun, 02 Nov 2014 01:26:28.725182881 EDT -04:00
now - 1.day # => Sun, 02 Nov 2014 00:26:28.725182881 EDT -04:00
If both the TimeWithZone
object and the other value act like Time
, a Float
will be returned.
Time.zone.now - 1.day.ago # => 86399.999967
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/time_with_zone.rb, line 225
def <=>(other)
utc <=> other
end
Use the time in UTC for comparisons.
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/time_with_zone.rb, line 488
def acts_like_time?
true
end
So that self
acts_like?(:time)

def advance(options)
# If we're advancing a value of variable length (i.e., years, weeks, months, days), advance from #time,

if options.values_at(:years, :weeks, :months, :days).any?
method_missing(:advance, options)
else
utc.advance(options).in_time_zone(time_zone)
end
end
Uses Date
to provide precise Time
calculations for years, months, and days according to the proleptic Gregorian calendar. The result is returned as a new TimeWithZone
object.
The options
parameter takes a hash with any of these keys: :years
, :months
, :weeks
, :days
, :hours
, :minutes
, :seconds
.
If advancing by a value of variable length (i.e., years, weeks, months, days), move forward from time
, otherwise move forward from utc
, for accuracy when moving across DST boundaries.

Returns a new ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone

parameter. The time options (:hour
, :min

) 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
, :offset
, :zone
. Pass either :usec
or :nsec
, not both. Similarly, pass either :zone
