Date Time Attributes
Creates date and time virtual attributes from a date/time attribute.
Installation
gem install date_time_attributeOr add it to your Gemfile:
gem 'bootstrap_form_extensions'Then:
bundleUsage
class Event < ActiveRecord::Base
date_time_attributes_for :start_at
end
event = Event.new
event.start_at # => nil
event.start_at = Time.now # => 2015-10-29 14:59:34 -0400
event.start_date # => "2015-10-29"
event.start_time # => "18:59:34"
event.start_date = '1971-10-21' # => "1971-10-21"
event.start_at # => 1971-10-21 14:59:34 -0400
event.start_time = '11:30:00' # => "11:30:00"
event.start_at # => 1971-10-21 11:30:00 -0400If the attribute ends with '_at', as in the previous example, the date and time attributes are called attribute_date and attribute_time. Otherwise, 'date' and 'time' just get added to the attribute name:
class Event < ActiveRecord::Base
date_time_attributes_for :ending
end
event = Event.new
event.ending # => nil
event.ending = Time.now # => 2015-10-29 14:59:34 -0400
event.ending_date # => "2015-10-29"
event.ending_time # => "18:59:34"Plain Ruby Classes
ActiveRecord is extended automatically when the gem is added to a Rails project. If you want to use this in a plain ruby class, just extend the class:
class Event
extend DateTimeAttributes
date_time_attributes_for :start_at
end
