PastChecker

You can check if DateTime is past.

when you create a Date or DateTime column in the ActiveModel on Rails with the following form, a method is defined that can check if it is past.

ll_be_foo -> #foo?
will_be_bar -> #bar?
ll_be_baz_at -> #baz?
will_be_qux_at -> #qux?

Please select from among these depending on the context you use.

class CreateHoges < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.0]
  def change
    create_table :Foobars do |t|
      t.datetime :ll_be_started_at
      t.date :will_be_executed

      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

rails c

irb(main):001:0> Foobar.new(ll_be_started_at: Time.now + 1.minute).started?
=> false
