TimePup

A simple natural language date time parser extracted from hound.cc. It is perfect for parsing the local part of an email address.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'time_pup'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install time_pup

TimePup.parse( 'tomorrow', timezone = UTC )

The time is always returned in UTC, it is just adjusted based on the time zone provided e.g:

• TimePup.parse( '8am' ) #=> 8 AM UTC
• TimePup.parse( '8am', 'Harare' ) #=> 6 AM UTC
