class Time - Documentation for Ruby 2.3.0 (original) (raw)

time.rb¶ ↑

When 'time' is required, Time is extended with additional methods for parsing and converting Times.

Features¶ ↑

This library extends the Time class with the following conversions between date strings and Time objects:

date-time defined by RFC 2822
HTTP-date defined by RFC 2616
dateTime defined by XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes (ISO 8601)
various formats handled by Date._parse
custom formats handled by Date._strptime

Examples¶ ↑

All examples assume you have loaded Time with:

require 'time'

All of these examples were done using the EST timezone which is GMT-5.

Converting to a String¶ ↑

t = Time.now t.iso8601
t.rfc2822
t.httpdate

Time.parse ¶ ↑

parse takes a string representation of a Time and attempts to parse it using a heuristic.

Time.parse("2010-10-31")

Any missing pieces of the date are inferred based on the current date.

Time.parse("12:00")

We can change the date used to infer our missing elements by passing a second object that responds to mon, day and year, such as Date, Time or DateTime. We can also use our own object.

class MyDate attr_reader :mon, :day, :year

def initialize(mon, day, year) @mon, @day, @year = mon, day, year end end

d = Date.parse("2010-10-28") t = Time.parse("2010-10-29") dt = DateTime.parse("2010-10-30") md = MyDate.new(10,31,2010)

Time.parse("12:00", d)
Time.parse("12:00", t)
Time.parse("12:00", dt) Time.parse("12:00", md)

parse also accepts an optional block. You can use this block to specify how to handle the year component of the date. This is specifically designed for handling two digit years. For example, if you wanted to treat all two digit years prior to 70 as the year 2000+ you could write this:

Time.parse("01-10-31") {|year| year + (year < 70 ? 2000 : 1900)}

Time.parse("70-10-31") {|year| year + (year < 70 ? 2000 : 1900)}

Time.strptime ¶ ↑

strptime works similar to parse except that instead of using a heuristic to detect the format of the input string, you provide a second argument that describes the format of the string. For example:

Time.strptime("2000-10-31", "%Y-%m-%d")

Time is an abstraction of dates and times. Time is stored internally as the number of seconds with fraction since the Epoch, January 1, 1970 00:00 UTC. Also see the library module Date. The Time class treats GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) as equivalent. GMT is the older way of referring to these baseline times but persists in the names of calls on POSIX systems.

All times may have fraction. Be aware of this fact when comparing times with each other – times that are apparently equal when displayed may be different when compared.

Since Ruby 1.9.2, Time implementation uses a signed 63 bit integer, Bignum or Rational. The integer is a number of nanoseconds since the Epoch which can represent 1823-11-12 to 2116-02-20. When Bignum or Rational is used (before 1823, after 2116, under nanosecond), Time works slower as when integer is used.

Examples¶ ↑

All of these examples were done using the EST timezone which is GMT-5.

Creating a new Time instance¶ ↑

You can create a new instance of Time with Time::new. This will use the current system time. Time::now is an alias for this. You can also pass parts of the time to Time::new such as year, month, minute, etc. When you want to construct a time this way you must pass at least a year. If you pass the year with nothing else time will default to January 1 of that year at 00:00:00 with the current system timezone. Here are some examples:

Time.new(2002)
Time.new(2002, 10)
Time.new(2002, 10, 31) Time.new(2002, 10, 31, 2, 2, 2, "+02:00")

You can also use gm, local and utc to infer GMT, local and UTC timezones instead of using the current system setting.

You can also create a new time using Time::at which takes the number of seconds (or fraction of seconds) since the Unix Epoch.

Time.at(628232400)

Working with an instance of Time ¶ ↑

Once you have an instance of Time there is a multitude of things you can do with it. Below are some examples. For all of the following examples, we will work on the assumption that you have done the following:

t = Time.new(1993, 02, 24, 12, 0, 0, "+09:00")

Was that a monday?

t.monday?

What year was that again?

t.year

Was is daylight savings at the time?

t.dst?

What's the day a year later?

t + (606024*365)

How many seconds was that since the Unix Epoch?

t.to_i

You can also do standard functions like compare two times.

t1 = Time.new(2010) t2 = Time.new(2011)

t1 == t2 t1 == t1 t1 < t2 t1 > t2

Time.new(2010,10,31).between?(t1, t2)

new(year, month=nil, day=nil, hour=nil, min=nil, sec=nil, utc_offset=nil) → time

Returns a Time object.

It is initialized to the current system time if no argument is given.

Note: The new object will use the resolution available on your system clock, and may include fractional seconds.

If one or more arguments specified, the time is initialized to the specified time.

sec may have fraction if it is a rational.

utc_offset is the offset from UTC. It can be a string such as “+09:00” or a number of seconds such as 32400.

Creates a new Time object for the current time. This is same as Time.new without arguments.

Time.now

static VALUE time_s_now(VALUE klass) { return rb_class_new_instance(0, NULL, klass); }

parse(date, now=self.now) { |year| ... } click to toggle source

Parses date using Date._parse and converts it to a Time object.

If a block is given, the year described in date is converted by the block. For example:

Time.parse(...) {|y| 0 <= y && y < 100 ? (y >= 69 ? y + 1900 : y + 2000) : y}

If the upper components of the given time are broken or missing, they are supplied with those of now. For the lower components, the minimum values (1 or 0) are assumed if broken or missing. For example:

now = Time.parse("Thu Nov 29 14:33:20 2001") Time.parse("16:30", now)
Time.parse("7/23", now)
Time.parse("Aug 31", now)
Time.parse("Aug 2000", now)

Since there are numerous conflicts among locally defined time zone abbreviations all over the world, this method is not intended to understand all of them. For example, the abbreviation “CST” is used variously as:

-06:00 in America/Chicago, -05:00 in America/Havana, +08:00 in Asia/Harbin, +09:30 in Australia/Darwin, +10:30 in Australia/Adelaide, etc.

Based on this fact, this method only understands the time zone abbreviations described in RFC 822 and the system time zone, in the order named. (i.e. a definition in RFC 822 overrides the system time zone definition.) The system time zone is taken from Time.local(year, 1, 1).zone and Time.local(year, 7, 1).zone. If the extracted time zone abbreviation does not match any of them, it is ignored and the given time is regarded as a local time.

ArgumentError is raised if Date._parse cannot extract information from date or if the Time class cannot represent specified date.

This method can be used as a fail-safe for other parsing methods as:

Time.rfc2822(date) rescue Time.parse(date) Time.httpdate(date) rescue Time.parse(date) Time.xmlschema(date) rescue Time.parse(date)

A failure of Time.parse should be checked, though.

You must require 'time' to use this method.

def parse(date, now=self.now) comp = !block_given? d = Date._parse(date, comp) year = d[:year] year = yield(year) if year && !comp make_time(date, year, d[:mon], d[:mday], d[:hour], d[:min], d[:sec], d[:sec_fraction], d[:zone], now) end

rfc2822(date) click to toggle source

Parses date as date-time defined by RFC 2822 and converts it to a Time object. The format is identical to the date format defined by RFC 822 and updated by RFC 1123.

ArgumentError is raised if date is not compliant with RFC 2822 or if the Time class cannot represent specified date.

zone_offset(zone, year=self.now.year) click to toggle source

Return the number of seconds the specified time zone differs from UTC.

Numeric time zones that include minutes, such as -10:00 or +1330 will work, as will simpler hour-only time zones like -10 or +13.

Textual time zones listed in ZoneOffset are also supported.

If the time zone does not match any of the above, zone_offset will check if the local time zone (both with and without potential Daylight Saving Time changes being in effect) matches zone. Specifying a value for year will change the year used to find the local time zone.

If zone_offset is unable to determine the offset, nil will be returned.

%M - Minute of the hour (00..59)

%S - Second of the minute (00..60)

%L - Millisecond of the second (000..999) The digits under millisecond are truncated to not produce 1000. %N - Fractional seconds digits, default is 9 digits (nanosecond) %3N millisecond (3 digits) %6N microsecond (6 digits) %9N nanosecond (9 digits) %12N picosecond (12 digits) %15N femtosecond (15 digits) %18N attosecond (18 digits) %21N zeptosecond (21 digits) %24N yoctosecond (24 digits) The digits under the specified length are truncated to avoid carry up.

Time zone: %z - Time zone as hour and minute offset from UTC (e.g. +0900) %:z - hour and minute offset from UTC with a colon (e.g. +09:00) %::z - hour, minute and second offset from UTC (e.g. +09:00:00) %Z - Abbreviated time zone name or similar information. (OS dependent)

Weekday: %A - The full weekday name (Sunday'') %^A uppercased (SUNDAY'') %a - The abbreviated name (Sun'') %^a uppercased (SUN'') %u - Day of the week (Monday is 1, 1..7) %w - Day of the week (Sunday is 0, 0..6)

ISO 8601 week-based year and week number: The first week of YYYY starts with a Monday and includes YYYY-01-04. The days in the year before the first week are in the last week of the previous year. %G - The week-based year %g - The last 2 digits of the week-based year (00..99) %V - Week number of the week-based year (01..53)

Seconds since the Epoch: %s - Number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.

Literal string: %n - Newline character (\n) %t - Tab character (\t) %% - Literal ``%'' character

Combination: %c - date and time (%a %b %e %T %Y) %D - Date (%m/%d/%y) %F - The ISO 8601 date format (%Y-%m-%d) %v - VMS date (%e-%^b-%4Y) %x - Same as %D %X - Same as %T %r - 12-hour time (%I:%M:%S %p) %R - 24-hour time (%H:%M) %T - 24-hour time (%H:%M:%S)

This method is similar to strftime() function defined in ISO C and POSIX.

While all directives are locale independent since Ruby 1.9, %Z is platform dependent. So, the result may differ even if the same format string is used in other systems such as C.

%z is recommended over %Z. %Z doesn't identify the timezone. For example, “CST” is used at America/Chicago (-06:00), America/Havana (-05:00), Asia/Harbin (+08:00), Australia/Darwin (+09:30) and Australia/Adelaide (+10:30). Also, %Z is highly dependent on the operating system. For example, it may generate a non ASCII string on Japanese Windows. i.e. the result can be different to “JST”. So the numeric time zone offset, %z, is recommended.

Examples:

t = Time.new(2007,11,19,8,37,48,"-06:00") t.strftime("Printed on %m/%d/%Y")
t.strftime("at %I:%M%p")
