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

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.)

def new(name)
  self[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.

#at(*args)

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

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

A second argument can be supplied to specify sub-second precision.

Time.zone = 'Hawaii'                # => "Hawaii"
Time.at(946684800, 123456.789).nsec # => 123456789

#formatted_offset(colon = true, alternate_utc_string = nil)

Returns a formatted string of the offset from UTC, or an alternative string if the time zone is already UTC.

zone = ActiveSupport::TimeZone['Central Time (US & Canada)']
zone.formatted_offset        # => "-06:00"

  utc_offset == 0 && alternate_utc_string || self.class.seconds_to_utc_offset(utc_offset, colon)

#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

#local(*args)

Method for creating new TimeWithZone instance in time zone of self from given values.

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

#local_to_utc(time, dst = true)

Adjust the given time to the simultaneous time in UTC. Returns a Time.utc() instance.

#match?(re) ⇒ `Boolean`

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

#now

Returns an TimeWithZone instance representing the current time in the time zone represented by self.

Time.zone = 'Hawaii'  # => "Hawaii"
Time.zone.now         # => Wed, 23 Jan 2008 20:24:27 HST -10:00

#parse(str, now = now())

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

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

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

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.parse('Mar 2000') # => Wed, 01 Mar 2000 00:00:00 HST -10:00

If the string is invalid then an ArgumentError could be raised.

#rfc3339(str)

Method for creating new TimeWithZone instance in time zone of self from an RFC 3339 string.

Time.zone = 'Hawaii'                     # => "Hawaii"
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.

Time.zone = 'Hawaii'            # => "Hawaii"
Time.zone.rfc3339('1999-12-31') # => ArgumentError: invalid date

Raises:

(ArgumentError)

  TimeWithZone.new(time.utc, self)
end

#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"
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

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.strptime('22:30:00', '%H:%M:%S') # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 22:30:00 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:

def utc_offset
  @utc_offset || tzinfo&.current_period&.base_utc_offset
end

#utc_to_local(time)

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 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 ActiveSupport.utc_to_local_returns_utc_offset_times config for more info.
