Public Class Methods

[](arg) click to toggle source

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.

# File lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 361
def [](arg)
  case arg
    when String
    begin
      lazy_zones_map[arg] ||= lookup(arg).tap { |tz| tz.utc_offset }
    rescue TZInfo::InvalidTimezoneIdentifier
      nil
    end
    when Numeric, ActiveSupport::Duration
      arg *= 3600 if arg.abs <= 13
      all.find { |z| z.utc_offset == arg.to_i }
    else
      raise ArgumentError, "invalid argument to TimeZone[]: #{arg.inspect}"
  end
end
all() click to toggle source

Return an array of all TimeZone objects. There are multiple TimeZone objects per time zone, in many cases, to make it easier for users to find their own time zone.

# File lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 343
def all
  @zones ||= zones_map.values.sort
end
create(name, utc_offset = nil, tzinfo = nil)
Alias for: new
find_tzinfo(name) click to toggle source
# File lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 326
def self.find_tzinfo(name)
  TZInfo::TimezoneProxy.new(MAPPING[name] || name)
end
new(name) click to toggle source

Return 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.)

# File lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 336
def new(name)
  self[name]
end
new(name, utc_offset = nil, tzinfo = nil) click to toggle source

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 lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 199
def initialize(name, utc_offset = nil, tzinfo = nil)
  self.class.send(:require_tzinfo)

  @name = name
  @utc_offset = utc_offset
  @tzinfo = tzinfo || TimeZone.find_tzinfo(name)
  @current_period = nil
end
Also aliased as: create
seconds_to_utc_offset(seconds, colon = true) click to toggle source

Assumes self represents an offset from UTC in seconds (as returned from Time#utc_offset) and turns this into an +HH:MM formatted string. Example:

TimeZone.seconds_to_utc_offset(-21_600) # => "-06:00"
# File lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 183
def self.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
us_zones() click to toggle source

A convenience method for returning a collection of TimeZone objects for time zones in the USA.

# File lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 379
def us_zones
  @us_zones ||= all.find_all { |z| z.name =~ /US|Arizona|Indiana|Hawaii|Alaska/ }
end
zones_map() click to toggle source
# File lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 347
def zones_map
  @zones_map ||= begin
    new_zones_names = MAPPING.keys - lazy_zones_map.keys
    new_zones       = Hash[new_zones_names.map { |place| [place, create(place)] }]

    lazy_zones_map.merge(new_zones)
  end
end

Public Instance Methods

<=>(zone) click to toggle source

Compare this time zone to the parameter. The two are compared first on their offsets, and then by name.

# File lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 225
def <=>(zone)
  result = (utc_offset <=> zone.utc_offset)
  result = (name <=> zone.name) if result == 0
  result
end
=~(re) click to toggle source

Compare name and TZInfo identifier to a supplied regexp, returning true if a match is found.

# File lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 233
def =~(re)
  return true if name =~ re || MAPPING[name] =~ re
end
at(secs) click to toggle source

Method for creating new ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instance in time zone of self from number of seconds since the Unix epoch. Example:

Time.zone = "Hawaii"        # => "Hawaii"
Time.utc(2000).to_f         # => 946684800.0
Time.zone.at(946684800.0)   # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 14:00:00 HST -10:00
# File lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 256
def at(secs)
  utc = Time.at(secs).utc rescue DateTime.civil(1970).since(secs)
  utc.in_time_zone(self)
end
formatted_offset(colon=true, alternate_utc_string = nil) click to toggle source

Returns the offset of this time zone as a formatted string, of the format “+HH:MM”.

# File lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 219
def formatted_offset(colon=true, alternate_utc_string = nil)
  utc_offset == 0 && alternate_utc_string || self.class.seconds_to_utc_offset(utc_offset, colon)
end

Time.zone.local(2007, 2, 1, 15, 30, 45)   # => Thu, 01 Feb 2007 15:30:45 HST -10:00

# File lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 312
def local_to_utc(time, dst=true)
  tzinfo.local_to_utc(time, dst)
end

Time.zone = 'Hawaii'  # => "Hawaii"
Time.zone.now         # => Wed, 23 Jan 2008 20:24:27 HST -10:00
# File lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 296
def now
  Time.now.utc.in_time_zone(self)
end
parse(str, now=now) click to toggle source

Method for creating new ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instance in time zone of self from parsed string. Example:

If upper components are missing from the string, they are supplied from #now:

Time.zone.now                 # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 14:00:00 HST -10:00
Time.zone.parse('22:30:00')   # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 22:30:00 HST -10:00
