class XMLRPC::DateTime

This class is important to handle XMLRPC dateTime.iso8601 values, correctly, because normal UNIX-dates, ie: Date, only handle dates from year 1970 on, and ruby's native Time class handles dates without the time component.

XMLRPC::DateTime is able to store a XMLRPC dateTime.iso8601 value correctly.

# File lib/xmlrpc/datetime.rb, line 84
def initialize(year, month, day, hour, min, sec)
  self.year, self.month, self.day = year, month, day
  self.hour, self.min, self.sec   = hour, min, sec
end

  self.to_a == Array(o) rescue false
end

Set value as the new date/time component.

Raises an ArgumentError if the given value isn't between 1 and 31.

# File lib/xmlrpc/datetime.rb, line 43
def day= (value)
  raise ArgumentError, "date/time out of range" unless (1..31).include? value
  @day = value
end

  @hour = value
end

Raises an ArgumentError if the given value isn't between 0 and 59.

# File lib/xmlrpc/datetime.rb, line 59
def min= (value)
  raise ArgumentError, "date/time out of range" unless (0..59).include? value
  @min = value
end

mon=(value)

Alias for XMLRPC::DateTime#month=.

Alias for: month=

month=(value) click to toggle source

Set value as the new date/time component.

Raises an ArgumentError if the given value isn't between 1 and 12.

# File lib/xmlrpc/datetime.rb, line 35
def month= (value)
  raise ArgumentError, "date/time out of range" unless (1..12).include? value
  @month = value
end

Also aliased as: mon=

sec=(value) click to toggle source

Set value as the new date/time component.

Raises an ArgumentError if the given value isn't between 0 and 59.

# File lib/xmlrpc/datetime.rb, line 67
def sec= (value)
  raise ArgumentError, "date/time out of range" unless (0..59).include? value
  @sec = value
end

to_a() click to toggle source

Returns all date/time components in an array.

Returns +[year, month, day, hour, min, sec]+.

# File lib/xmlrpc/datetime.rb, line 112
def to_a
  [@year, @month, @day, @hour, @min, @sec]
end

to_date() click to toggle source

Return a Date object of the date which represents self.

The Date object do not contain the time component (only date).

# File lib/xmlrpc/datetime.rb, line 105
def to_date
  Date.new(*to_a[0,3])
end

to_time() click to toggle source

Return a Time object of the date/time which represents self. If the @year is below 1970, this method returns nil, because Time cannot handle years below 1970.

The timezone used is GMT.

# File lib/xmlrpc/datetime.rb, line 94
def to_time
  if @year >= 1970
    Time.gm(*to_a)
  else
    nil
  end
end

year=(value) click to toggle source

Set value as the new date/time component.

Raises ArgumentError if the given value is out of range, or in the case of XMLRPC::DateTime#year= if value is not of type Integer.

# File lib/xmlrpc/datetime.rb, line 27
def year= (value)
  raise ArgumentError, "date/time out of range" unless value.is_a? Integer
  @year = value
