Overview

A Time object represents a date and time:

Time.new(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0) # => 2000-01-01 00:00:00 -0600

Although its value can be expressed as a single numeric (see Epoch Seconds below), it can be convenient to deal with the value by parts:

t = Time.new(-2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0.0)
# => -2000-01-01 00:00:00 -0600
t.year # => -2000
t.month # => 1
t.mday # => 1
t.hour # => 0
t.min # => 0
t.sec # => 0
t.subsec # => 0

t = Time.new(2000, 12, 31, 23, 59, 59.5)
# => 2000-12-31 23:59:59.5 -0600
t.year # => 2000
t.month # => 12
t.mday # => 31
t.hour # => 23
t.min # => 59
t.sec # => 59
t.subsec # => (1/2)

Epoch Seconds

Epoch seconds is the exact number of seconds (including fractional subseconds) since the Unix Epoch, January 1, 1970.

You can retrieve that value exactly using method #to_r:

Time.at(0).to_r        # => (0/1)
Time.at(0.999999).to_r # => (9007190247541737/9007199254740992)

Other retrieval methods such as #to_i and #to_f may return a value that rounds or truncates subseconds.

Time Resolution

A Time object derived from the system clock (for example, by method .now) has the resolution supported by the system.

Examples

All of these examples were done using the EST timezone which is GMT-5.

Creating a New Time Instance

You can create a new instance of Time with .new. This will use the current system time. .now is an alias for this. You can also pass parts of the time to .new such as year, month, minute, etc. When you want to construct a time this way you must pass at least a year. If you pass the year with nothing else time will default to January 1 of that year at 00:00:00 with the current system timezone. Here are some examples:

Time.new(2002)         #=> 2002-01-01 00:00:00 -0500
Time.new(2002, 10)     #=> 2002-10-01 00:00:00 -0500
Time.new(2002, 10, 31) #=> 2002-10-31 00:00:00 -0500

You can pass a UTC offset:

Time.new(2002, 10, 31, 2, 2, 2, "+02:00") #=> 2002-10-31 02:02:02 +0200

Or a timezone object:

zone = timezone("Europe/Athens")      # Eastern European Time, UTC+2
Time.new(2002, 10, 31, 2, 2, 2, zone) #=> 2002-10-31 02:02:02 +0200

You can also use .local and .utc to infer local and UTC timezones instead of using the current system setting.

You can also create a new time using .at which takes the number of seconds (with subsecond) since the Unix Epoch.

Time.at(628232400) #=> 1989-11-28 00:00:00 -0500

Working with an Instance of Time

Once you have an instance of Time there is a multitude of things you can do with it. Below are some examples. For all of the following examples, we will work on the assumption that you have done the following:

t = Time.new(1993, 02, 24, 12, 0, 0, "+09:00")

Was that a monday?

t.monday? #=> false

What year was that again?

t.year #=> 1993

Was it daylight savings at the time?

t.dst? #=> false

What’s the day a year later?

t + (60*60*24*365) #=> 1994-02-24 12:00:00 +0900

How many seconds was that since the Unix Epoch?

t.to_i #=> 730522800

You can also do standard functions like compare two times.

t1 = Time.new(2010)
t2 = Time.new(2011)

t1 == t2 #=> false
t1 == t1 #=> true
t1 <  t2 #=> true
t1 >  t2 #=> false

Time.new(2010,10,31).between?(t1, t2) #=> true

Class Method Details



  

    .at(time, subsec = false, unit = :microsecond, in: nil)  
  



  

    

Returns a new Time object based on the given arguments.



Required argument time may be either of:


  • 

    A Time object, whose value is the basis for the returned time; also influenced by optional keyword argument in: (see below).
    

  • 

    A numeric number of Epoch seconds for the returned time.
    




Examples:



t = Time.new(2000, 12, 31, 23, 59, 59) # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59 -0600
secs = t.to_i                          # => 978328799
Time.at(secs)                          # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59 -0600
Time.at(secs + 0.5)                    # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59.5 -0600
Time.at(1000000000)                    # => 2001-09-08 20:46:40 -0500
Time.at(0)                             # => 1969-12-31 18:00:00 -0600
Time.at(-1000000000)                   # => 1938-04-24 17:13:20 -0500



Optional numeric argument #subsec and optional symbol argument units work together to specify subseconds for the returned time; argument units specifies the units for #subsec:


  • 

    :millisecond: #subsec in milliseconds:
    


    Time.at(secs, 0, :millisecond)     # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59 -0600
Time.at(secs, 500, :millisecond)   # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59.5 -0600
Time.at(secs, 1000, :millisecond)  # => 2001-01-01 00:00:00 -0600
Time.at(secs, -1000, :millisecond) # => 2000-12-31 23:59:58 -0600
    

  • 

    :microsecond or :usec: #subsec in microseconds:
    


    Time.at(secs, 0, :microsecond)        # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59 -0600
Time.at(secs, 500000, :microsecond)   # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59.5 -0600
Time.at(secs, 1000000, :microsecond)  # => 2001-01-01 00:00:00 -0600
Time.at(secs, -1000000, :microsecond) # => 2000-12-31 23:59:58 -0600
    

  • 

    :nanosecond or :nsec: #subsec in nanoseconds:
    


    Time.at(secs, 0, :nanosecond)           # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59 -0600
Time.at(secs, 500000000, :nanosecond)   # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59.5 -0600
Time.at(secs, 1000000000, :nanosecond)  # => 2001-01-01 00:00:00 -0600
Time.at(secs, -1000000000, :nanosecond) # => 2000-12-31 23:59:58 -0600
    




Optional keyword argument +in: zone specifies the timezone for the returned time:



Time.at(secs, in: '+12:00') # => 2001-01-01 17:59:59 +1200
Time.at(secs, in: '-12:00') # => 2000-12-31 17:59:59 -1200

    String integers:
    


    a = %w[0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0]
# => ["0", "1", "1", "0", "0", "0", "0", "0"]
Time.utc(*a) # => 0000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
    




When exactly ten arguments are given, the arguments are interpreted as in the second calling sequence above:



Time.utc(sec, min, hour, mday, month, year, dummy, dummy, dummy, dummy)



where the dummy arguments are ignored:



a = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
# => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
Time.utc(*a) # => 0005-04-03 02:01:00 UTC



This form is useful for creating a Time object from a 10-element array returned by #to_a:



t = Time.new(2000, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) # => 2000-01-02 03:04:05 +000006
a = t.to_a   # => [5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2000, 0, 2, false, nil]
Time.utc(*a) # => 2000-01-02 03:04:05 UTC



The two forms have their first six arguments in common, though in different orders; the ranges of these common arguments are the same for both forms; see above.



Raises an exception if the number of arguments is eight, nine, or greater than ten.



gm is an alias for .utc.

      #-(numeric)  ⇒ Time

When numeric is given, returns a new Time object whose value is the difference of the numeric value of self and numeric:

Compares self with other_time; returns:

    -1, if self is less than other_time.
    

  • 

    0, if self is equal to other_time.

    1, if self is greater then other_time.

    nil, if self and other_time are incomparable.

    #deconstruct_keys(array_of_names_or_nil)  ⇒ Hash   



  

    

Returns a hash of the name/value pairs, to use in pattern matching. Possible keys are: :year, :month, :day, :yday, :wday, :hour, :min, :sec, :subsec, :dst, :zone.



Possible usages:



t = Time.utc(2022, 10, 5, 21, 25, 30)

if t in wday: 3, day: ..7  # uses deconstruct_keys underneath
  puts "first Wednesday of the month"
end
#=> prints "first Wednesday of the month"

case t
in year: ...2022
  puts "too old"
in month: ..9
  puts "quarter 1-3"
in wday: 1..5, month:
  puts "working day in month #{month}"
end
#=> prints "working day in month 10"



Note that deconstruction by pattern can also be combined with class check:



if t in Time(wday: 3, day: ..7)
  puts "first Wednesday of the month"
end
