Lifetime

Use this for your ActiveRecord models that are time bound with a start and stop time.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'lifetime'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install lifetime

Include lifetime to you model:

#use the default lifetime fields: start_at, end_at
class License < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Lifetime
end

#use the custom lifetime fields
class License < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Lifetime
  lifetime_fields :start_date, :end_date
end

License.lifetime #returns lifetime of the license
License.first.lifetime_expired? #returns true if the license is expired
