Overview

Class Date provides methods for storing and manipulating calendar dates.

Consider using class Time instead of class Date if:

  • You need both dates and times; Date handles only dates.

  • You need only Gregorian dates (and not Julian dates); see Julian and Gregorian Calendars.

A Date object, once created, is immutable, and cannot be modified.

Creating a Date

You can create a date for the current date, using .today:

Date.today # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>

You can create a specific date from various combinations of arguments:

  • .new takes integer year, month, and day-of-month:

    Date.new(1999, 12, 31) # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
  • .ordinal takes integer year and day-of-year:

    Date.ordinal(1999, 365) # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
  • .jd takes integer Julian day:

    Date.jd(2451544) # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
  • .commercial takes integer commercial data (year, week, day-of-week):

    Date.commercial(1999, 52, 5) # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
  • .parse takes a string, which it parses heuristically:

    Date.parse('1999-12-31')    # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
    Date.parse('31-12-1999')    # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
    Date.parse('1999-365')      # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
    Date.parse('1999-W52-5')    # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
  • .strptime takes a date string and a format string, then parses the date string according to the format string:

    Date.strptime('1999-12-31', '%Y-%m-%d')  # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
    Date.strptime('31-12-1999', '%d-%m-%Y')  # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
    Date.strptime('1999-365', '%Y-%j')       # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
    Date.strptime('1999-W52-5', '%G-W%V-%u') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
    Date.strptime('1999 52 5', '%Y %U %w')   # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
    Date.strptime('1999 52 5', '%Y %W %u')   # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
    Date.strptime('fri31dec99', '%a%d%b%y')  # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>

See also the specialized methods in “Specialized Format Strings” in Formats for s and Times

Argument limit

Certain singleton methods in Date that parse string arguments also take optional keyword argument limit, which can limit the length of the string argument.

When limit is:

  • Non-negative: raises ArgumentError if the string length is greater than limit.

  • Other numeric or nil: ignores limit.

  • Other non-numeric: raises TypeError.

Constructor Details

.new(year = -4712, month = 1, mday = 1, start = Date::ITALY) ⇒ Date

Returns a new Date object constructed from the given arguments:

Date.new(2022).to_s        # => "2022-01-01"
Date.new(2022, 2).to_s     # => "2022-02-01"
Date.new(2022, 2, 4).to_s  # => "2022-02-04"

Argument #month should be in range (1..12) or range (-12..-1); when the argument is negative, counts backward from the end of the year:

Date.new(2022, -11, 4).to_s # => "2022-02-04"

Argument #mday should be in range (1..n) or range (-n..-1) where n is the number of days in the month; when the argument is negative, counts backward from the end of the month.

See argument start.

._parse(string, comp = true, limit: 128) ⇒ Hash

Note: This method recognizes many forms in string, but it is not a validator. For formats, see “Specialized Format Strings” in Formats for Dates and Times

Date._parse('2001-02-03') # => {:year=>2001, :mon=>2, :mday=>3}

If comp is true and the given year is in the range (0..99), the current century is supplied; otherwise, the year is taken as given:

.commercial(cwyear = -4712, cweek = 1, cwday = 1, start = Date::ITALY) ⇒ Date

Returns a new Date object constructed from the arguments.

Argument #cwyear gives the year, and should be an integer.

Argument #cweek gives the index of the week within the year, and should be in range (1..53) or (-53..-1); in some years, 53 or -53 will be out-of-range; if negative, counts backward from the end of the year:

Date.commercial(2022, 1, 1).to_s  # => "2022-01-03"
Date.commercial(2022, 52, 1).to_s # => "2022-12-26"

Argument #cwday gives the indes of the weekday within the week, and should be in range (1..7) or (-7..-1); 1 or -7 is Monday; if negative, counts backward from the end of the week:

Date.commercial(2022, 1, 1).to_s  # => "2022-01-03"
Date.commercial(2022, 1, -7).to_s # => "2022-01-03"

When #cweek is 1:

  • If January 1 is a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, the first week begins in the week after:

    Date::ABBR_DAYNAMES[Date.new(2023, 1, 1).wday] # => "Sun"
    Date.commercial(2023, 1, 1).to_s # => "2023-01-02"
      Date.commercial(2023, 1, 7).to_s # => "2023-01-08"
  • Otherwise, the first week is the week of January 1, which may mean some of the days fall on the year before:

    Date::ABBR_DAYNAMES[Date.new(2020, 1, 1).wday] # => "Wed"
    Date.commercial(2020, 1, 1).to_s # => "2019-12-30"

.ordinal(year = -4712, yday = 1, start = Date::ITALY) ⇒ Date

Returns a new Date object formed fom the arguments.

With no arguments, returns the date for January 1, -4712:

Date.ordinal.to_s # => "-4712-01-01"

With argument #year, returns the date for January 1 of that year:

Date.ordinal(2001).to_s  # => "2001-01-01"
Date.ordinal(-2001).to_s # => "-2001-01-01"

With positive argument #yday == n, returns the date for the nth day of the given year:

Date.ordinal(2001, 14).to_s # => "2001-01-14"

With negative argument #yday, counts backward from the end of the year:

Date.ordinal(2001, -14).to_s # => "2001-12-18"

Raises an exception if #yday is zero or out of range.

.parse(string = '-4712-01-01', comp = true, start = Date::ITALY, limit: 128) ⇒ Date

Note: This method recognizes many forms in string, but it is not a validator. For formats, see “Specialized Format Strings” in Formats for Dates and Times If string does not specify a valid date, the result is unpredictable; consider using ._strptime instead.

Returns a new Date object with values parsed from string:

Date.parse('2001-02-03')   # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>
Date.parse('20010203')     # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>
Date.parse('3rd Feb 2001') # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>

If comp is true and the given year is in the range (0..99), the current century is supplied; otherwise, the year is taken as given:

Date.parse('01-02-03', true)  # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>
Date.parse('01-02-03', false) # => #<Date: 0001-02-03>

#step(limit, step = 1) {|date| ... } ⇒ self

Calls the block with specified dates; returns self.

  • The first date is self.

  • Each successive date is date + step, where step is the numeric step size in days.

Example:

limit = Date.new(2001, 12, 31)
Date.new(2001).step(limit){|date| p date.to_s if date.mday == 31 }

Output:

"2001-01-31"
