#advance(options)

Uses Date to provide precise ::Time calculations for years, months, and days. The options parameter takes a hash with any of these keys: :years, :months, :weeks, :days, :hours, :minutes, :seconds.

Just like Date#advance, increments are applied in order of time units from largest to smallest. This order can affect the result around the end of a month.

#ago(seconds)

Returns a new DateTime representing the time a number of seconds ago. Do not use this method in combination with x.months, use months_ago instead!

#change(options)

Returns a new DateTime where one or more of the elements have been changed according to the options parameter. The time options (:hour, :min, :sec) reset cascadingly, so if only the hour is passed, then minute and sec is set to 0. If the hour and minute is passed, then sec is set to 0. The options parameter takes a hash with any of these keys: :year, :month, :day, :hour, :min, :sec, :offset, :start.

Adding your own datetime formats to to_fs

DateTime formats are shared with Time. You can add your own format using the ActiveSupport::TimeFormats.register method. Use the format name as the key and either a strftime string or Proc instance that takes a time or datetime argument as the value.

#### config/initializers/time_formats.rb
{ActiveSupport::TimeFormats.register}(:month_and_year, '%B %Y')
{ActiveSupport::TimeFormats.register}(:short_ordinal, ->(date) { date.strftime("%B #{date.day.ordinalize}") })
