Overview

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 TimeWithZone instances via TimeZone’s #local, parse, at and now 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

Constant Summary

MAPPING =

Keys are ::Rails TimeZone names, values are TZInfo identifiers.

Constructor Details

.new(name) ⇒ `TimeZone`

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.)

[ GitHub ]

# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb', line 214


def new(name)
  self[name]
end

#initialize(name, utc_offset = nil, tzinfo = nil) ⇒ `TimeZone`

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).

[ GitHub ]

# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb', line 297


def initialize(name, utc_offset = nil, tzinfo = nil)
  @name = name
  @utc_offset = utc_offset
  @tzinfo = tzinfo || TimeZone.find_tzinfo(name)
end

Class Method Details

.[](arg)

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.

end

.all

Returns 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.

#iso8601(str)

::Method for creating new TimeWithZone instance in time zone of self from an ISO 8601 string.

Time.zone = 'Hawaii'                     # => "Hawaii"
Time.zone.iso8601('1999-12-31T14:00:00') # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 14:00:00 HST -10:00

If the time components are missing then they will be set to zero.

Time.zone = 'Hawaii'            # => "Hawaii"
Time.zone.iso8601('1999-12-31') # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 00:00:00 HST -10:00

If the string is invalid then an ArgumentError will be raised unlike #parse which usually returns nil when given an invalid date string.

Raises:

#strptime(str, format, now = now())

Parses str according to format and returns an 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"
