Public Instance Methods
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/bytes.rb, line 12
def bytes
  self
endEnables the use of byte calculations and declarations, like 45.bytes + 2.6.megabytes
2.bytes # => 2
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb, line 45
def days
  ActiveSupport::Duration.days(self)
endReturns a Duration instance matching the number of days provided.
2.days # => 2 days
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/object/duplicable.rb, line 99
def duplicable?
  false
endNumbers are not duplicable:
3.duplicable? # => false
3.dup         # => TypeError: can't dup Integer
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/bytes.rb, line 60
def exabytes
  self * EXABYTE
endReturns the number of bytes equivalent to the exabytes provided.
2.exabytes # => 2_305_843_009_213_693_952
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb, line 61
def fortnights
  ActiveSupport::Duration.weeks(self * 2)
endReturns a Duration instance matching the number of fortnights provided.
2.fortnights # => 4 weeks
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/bytes.rb, line 36
def gigabytes
  self * GIGABYTE
endReturns the number of bytes equivalent to the gigabytes provided.
2.gigabytes # => 2_147_483_648
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb, line 37
def hours
  ActiveSupport::Duration.hours(self)
endReturns a Duration instance matching the number of hours provided.
2.hours # => 2 hours
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/string/output_safety.rb, line 130
def html_safe?
  true
end# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb, line 71
def in_milliseconds
  self * 1000
endReturns the number of milliseconds equivalent to the seconds provided. Used with the standard time durations, like 1.hour.in_milliseconds – so we can feed them to JavaScript functions like getTime().
2.in_milliseconds # => 2_000
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/bytes.rb, line 20
def kilobytes
  self * KILOBYTE
endReturns the number of bytes equivalent to the kilobytes provided.
2.kilobytes # => 2048
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/bytes.rb, line 28
def megabytes
  self * MEGABYTE
endReturns the number of bytes equivalent to the megabytes provided.
2.megabytes # => 2_097_152
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb, line 29
def minutes
  ActiveSupport::Duration.minutes(self)
endReturns a Duration instance matching the number of minutes provided.
2.minutes # => 2 minutes
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/inquiry.rb, line 17
def negative?
  self < 0
endReturns true if the number is negative.
-1.negative? # => true
0.negative?  # => false
1.negative?  # => false
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/bytes.rb, line 52
def petabytes
  self * PETABYTE
endReturns the number of bytes equivalent to the petabytes provided.
2.petabytes # => 2_251_799_813_685_248
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/inquiry.rb, line 8
def positive?
  self > 0
endReturns true if the number is positive.
1.positive?  # => true
0.positive?  # => false
-1.positive? # => false
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb, line 21
def seconds
  ActiveSupport::Duration.seconds(self)
endEnables the use of time calculations and declarations, like 45.minutes + 2.hours + 4.years.
These methods use Time#advance for precise date calculations when using from_now, ago, etc. as well as adding or subtracting their results from a Time object. For example:
# equivalent to Time.current.advance(months: 1)
1.month.from_now
# equivalent to Time.current.advance(years: 2)
2.years.from_now
# equivalent to Time.current.advance(months: 4, years: 5)
(4.months + 5.years).from_now
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/bytes.rb, line 44
def terabytes
  self * TERABYTE
endReturns the number of bytes equivalent to the terabytes provided.
2.terabytes # => 2_199_023_255_552
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb, line 53
def weeks
  ActiveSupport::Duration.weeks(self)
endReturns a Duration instance matching the number of weeks provided.
2.weeks # => 2 weeks
