Weekends

This gem import class Weekend that help to identify weekend dates.

It is possible to pass Time, Date, DateTime or ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone to all methods and Time will be returned.

Class does't have ActiveSupport dependency, so Rails dependencies not required.

This methods returns nearest weekends:

monday = Time.new(2017, 10, 2) 

Weekend.nearest_saturday(monday)
# => 2017-10-07 00:00:00 +0300 

Weekend.nearest_sunday(monday)
# => 2017-10-08 00:00:00 +0300 

Weekend.nearest_full_weekends(monday)
# => 2017-10-07 00:00:00 +0300..2017-10-08 00:00:00 +0300 

If given weekend, methods will return next weekend:

saturday = Time.new(2017, 10, 7)

Weekend.nearest_saturday(saturday)
# => 2017-10-14 00:00:00 +0300 
 
# ...

There is also basic method to check if date are weekend:

monday = Time.new(2017, 10, 2) 
saturday = Time.new(2017, 10, 7)

Weekend.on_date?(monday)
# => false 

Weekend.on_date?(saturday)
# => true
