class ActiveSupport::TimeZone
The TimeZone
class serves as a wrapper around TZInfo::Timezone instances. It allows us to do the following:
Limit the set of zones provided by TZInfo to a meaningful subset of 134 zones.
Retrieve and display zones with a friendlier name (e.g., “Eastern
Time
(US & Canada)” instead of “America/New_York”).Lazily load TZInfo::Timezone instances only when they're needed.
Create
ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone
instances via TimeZone'slocal
,parse
,at
andnow
methods.
If you set config.time_zone
in the Rails Application, you can access this TimeZone
object via Time.zone
:
# application.rb:
class Application < Rails::Application
config.time_zone = 'Eastern Time (US & Canada)'
end
Time.zone # => #<ActiveSupport::TimeZone:0x514834...>
Time.zone.name # => "Eastern Time (US & Canada)"
Time.zone.now # => Sun, 18 May 2008 14:30:44 EDT -04:00

end
Locate a specific time zone object. If the argument is a string, it is interpreted to mean the name of the timezone to locate. If it is a numeric value it is either the hour offset, or the second offset, of the timezone to find. (The first one with that offset will be returned.) Returns nil
if no such time zone is known to the system.

A convenience method for returning a collection of TimeZone
objects for time zones in the country specified by its ISO 3166-1 Alpha2 code.

def new(name)
self[name]
end
Returns a TimeZone
instance with the given name, or nil
if no such TimeZone
instance exists. (This exists to support the use of this class with the composed_of
macro.)

def initialize(name, utc_offset = nil, tzinfo = nil)
@name = name
@utc_offset = utc_offset
@tzinfo = tzinfo || TimeZone.find_tzinfo(name)
end
Create a new TimeZone
object with the given name and offset. The offset is the number of seconds that this time zone is offset from UTC (GMT). Seconds were chosen as the offset unit because that is the unit that Ruby uses to represent time zone offsets (see Time#utc_offset).
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 197
def seconds_to_utc_offset(seconds, colon = true)
format = colon ? UTC_OFFSET_WITH_COLON : UTC_OFFSET_WITHOUT_COLON
sign = (seconds < 0 ? "-" : "+")
hours = seconds.abs / 3600
minutes = (seconds.abs % 3600) / 60
format % [sign, hours, minutes]
end
Assumes self represents an offset from UTC in seconds (as returned from Time#utc_offset) and turns this into an +HH:MM formatted string.

Method
for creating new ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone

Time.zone.rfc3339('2000-01-01T00:00:00Z') # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 14:00:00 HST -10:00
If the time or zone components are missing then an ArgumentError
will be raised. This is much stricter than either parse
or iso8601
which allow for missing components.

def strptime(str, format, now = now())
parts_to_time(DateTime._strptime(str, format), now)
end
Parses str
according to format
and returns an ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone
.
Assumes that str
is a time in the time zone self
, unless format
includes an explicit time zone. (This is the same behavior as parse
.) In either case, the returned TimeWithZone
has the timezone of self
.
Time.zone = 'Hawaii' # => "Hawaii"
Time.zone.strptime('1999-12-31 14:00:00', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 14:00:00 HST -10:00

However, if the date component is not provided, but any other upper components are supplied, then the day of the month defaults to 1:
Time.zone.strptime('Mar 2000', '%b %Y') # => Wed, 01 Mar 2000 00:00:00 HST -10:00
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 341

end
Returns a textual representation of this time zone.
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 491
def today
tzinfo.now.to_date
end
Returns the current date in this time zone.
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 496
def tomorrow
today + 1
end
Returns the next date in this time zone.
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 304
def utc_offset
@utc_offset || tzinfo&.current_period&.base_utc_offset
end
Returns the offset of this time zone from UTC in seconds.

def utc_to_local(time)
tzinfo.utc_to_local(time).yield_self do |t|
ActiveSupport.utc_to_local_returns_utc_offset_times ?
t : Time.utc(t.year, t.month, t.day, t.hour, t.min, t.sec, t.sec_fraction)
end
end
Adjust the given time to the simultaneous time in the time zone represented by self
. Returns a local time with the appropriate offset – if you want an ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone
instance, use Time#in_time_zone()
instead.
As of tzinfo 2, utc_to_local
returns a Time
with a non-zero utc_offset. See the `utc_to_local_returns_utc_offset_times` config for more info.
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 501
def yesterday
today - 1
end
Returns the previous date in this time zone.
