class Time
Time
is an abstraction of dates and times. Time
is stored internally as the number of seconds with fraction since the Epoch, January 1, 1970 00:00 UTC. Also see the library module Date
. The Time
class treats GMT (Greenwich Mean Time
) and UTC (Coordinated Universal Time
) as equivalent. GMT is the older way of referring to these baseline times but persists in the names of calls on POSIX systems.
All times may have fraction. Be aware of this fact when comparing times with each other – times that are apparently equal when displayed may be different when compared.
Since Ruby 1.9.2, Time
implementation uses a signed 63 bit integer, Bignum or Rational
. The integer is a number of nanoseconds since the Epoch which can represent 1823-11-12 to 2116-02-20. When Bignum or Rational
is used (before 1823, after 2116, under nanosecond), Time
works slower as when integer is used.
Examples¶ ↑
All of these examples were done using the EST timezone which is GMT-5.
Creating a new Time
instance¶ ↑
You can create a new instance of Time
with Time::new
. This will use the current system time. Time::now
is an alias for this. You can also pass parts of the time to Time::new
such as year, month, minute, etc. When you want to construct a time this way you must pass at least a year. If you pass the year with nothing else time will default to January 1 of that year at 00:00:00 with the current system timezone. Here are some examples:
Time.new(2002) #=> 2002-01-01 00:00:00 -0500 Time.new(2002, 10) #=> 2002-10-01 00:00:00 -0500 Time.new(2002, 10, 31) #=> 2002-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
You can pass a UTC offset:
Time.new(2002, 10, 31, 2, 2, 2, "+02:00") #=> 2002-10-31 02:02:02 +0200
Or a timezone object:
tz = timezone("Europe/Athens") # Eastern European Time, UTC+2 Time.new(2002, 10, 31, 2, 2, 2, tz) #=> 2002-10-31 02:02:02 +0200
You can also use Time::gm
, Time::local
and Time::utc
to infer GMT, local and UTC timezones instead of using the current system setting.
You can also create a new time using Time::at
which takes the number of seconds (or fraction of seconds) since the Unix Epoch.
Time.at(628232400) #=> 1989-11-28 00:00:00 -0500
Working with an instance of Time
¶ ↑
Once you have an instance of Time
there is a multitude of things you can do with it. Below are some examples. For all of the following examples, we will work on the assumption that you have done the following:
t = Time.new(1993, 02, 24, 12, 0, 0, "+09:00")
Was that a monday?
t.monday? #=> false
What year was that again?
t.year #=> 1993
Was it daylight savings at the time?
t.dst? #=> false
What's the day a year later?
t + (60*60*24*365) #=> 1994-02-24 12:00:00 +0900
How many seconds was that since the Unix Epoch?
t.to_i #=> 730522800
You can also do standard functions like compare two times.
t1 = Time.new(2010) t2 = Time.new(2011) t1 == t2 #=> false t1 == t1 #=> true t1 < t2 #=> true t1 > t2 #=> false Time.new(2010,10,31).between?(t1, t2) #=> true
Timezone argument¶ ↑
A timezone argument must have local_to_utc
and utc_to_local
methods, and may have name
and abbr
methods.
The local_to_utc
method should convert a Time-like object from the timezone to UTC, and utc_to_local
is the opposite. The result also should be a Time
or Time-like object (not necessary to be the same class). The zone
of the result is just ignored. Time-like argument to these methods is similar to a Time
object in UTC without sub-second; it has attribute readers for the parts, e.g. year
, month
, and so on, and epoch time readers, to_i
. The sub-second attributes are fixed as 0, and utc_offset
, zone
, isdst
, and their aliases are same as a Time
object in UTC. Also to_time
, +
, and -
methods are defined.
The name
method is used for marshaling. If this method is not defined on a timezone object, Time
objects using that timezone object can not be dumped by Marshal
.
The abbr
method is used by '%Z' in strftime
.
Auto conversion to Timezone¶ ↑
At loading marshaled data, a timezone name will be converted to a timezone object by find_timezone
class method, if the method is defined.
Similary, that class method will be called when a timezone argument does not have the necessary methods mentioned above.
Public Class Methods
Creates a new Time
object with the value given by time
, the given number of seconds_with_frac
, or seconds
and microseconds_with_frac
since the Epoch. seconds_with_frac
and microseconds_with_frac
can be an Integer
, Float
, Rational
, or other Numeric
. non-portable feature allows the offset to be negative on some systems.
If in
argument is given, the result is in that timezone or UTC offset, or if a numeric argument is given, the result is in local time.
Time.at(0) #=> 1969-12-31 18:00:00 -0600 Time.at(Time.at(0)) #=> 1969-12-31 18:00:00 -0600 Time.at(946702800) #=> 1999-12-31 23:00:00 -0600 Time.at(-284061600) #=> 1960-12-31 00:00:00 -0600 Time.at(946684800.2).usec #=> 200000 Time.at(946684800, 123456.789).nsec #=> 123456789 Time.at(946684800, 123456789, :nsec).nsec #=> 123456789

Creates a Time
object based on given values, interpreted as UTC (GMT). The year must be specified. Other values default to the minimum value for that field (and may be nil
or omitted). Months may be specified by numbers from 1 to 12, or by the three-letter English
month names. Hours are specified on a 24-hour clock (0..23). Raises an ArgumentError
if any values are out of range. Will also accept ten arguments in the order output by Time#to_a
.
sec_with_frac
and usec_with_frac
can have a fractional part.
Time.utc(2000,"jan",1,20,15,1) #=> 2000-01-01 20:15:01 UTC Time.gm(2000,"jan",1,20,15,1) #=> 2000-01-01 20:15:01 UTC

Parses date
as an HTTP-date defined by RFC 2616 and converts it to a Time

ArgumentError
is raised if date
is not compliant with RFC 2616 or if the Time
class cannot represent specified date.

Returns a Time
object.
It is initialized to the current system time if no argument is given.
Note: The new object will use the resolution available on your system clock, and may include fractional seconds.
If one or more arguments are specified, the time is initialized to the specified time.
sec
may have fraction if it is a rational.
tz
specifies the timezone. It can be an offset from UTC, given either as a string such as “+09:00” or as a number of seconds such as 32400. Or it can be a timezone object, see Timezone argument for details.

static VALUE time_init(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE time) { if (argc == 0) return time_init_0(time); else return time_init_1(argc, argv, time); }
Takes a string representation of a Time
and attempts to parse it using a heuristic.
require 'time' Time.parse("2010-10-31") #=> 2010-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
Any missing pieces of the date are inferred based on the current date.
require 'time' # assuming the current date is "2011-10-31" Time.parse("12:00") #=> 2011-10-31 12:00:00 -0500
We can change the date used to infer our missing elements by passing a second object that responds to mon
, day
and year
, such as Date
, Time
or DateTime
. We can also use our own object.
require 'time' class MyDate attr_reader :mon, :day, :year def initialize(mon, day, year) @mon, @day, @year = mon, day, year end end d = Date.parse("2010-10-28") t = Time.parse("2010-10-29") dt = DateTime.parse("2010-10-30") md = MyDate.new(10,31,2010) Time.parse("12:00", d) #=> 2010-10-28 12:00:00 -0500 Time.parse("12:00", t) #=> 2010-10-29 12:00:00 -0500 Time.parse("12:00", dt) #=> 2010-10-30 12:00:00 -0500 Time.parse("12:00", md) #=> 2010-10-31 12:00:00 -0500
If a block is given, the year described in date
is converted by the block. This is specifically designed for handling two digit years. For example, if you wanted to treat all two digit years prior to 70 as the year 2000+ you could write this:
require 'time' Time.parse("01-10-31") {|year| year + (year < 70 ? 2000 : 1900)} #=> 2001-10-31 00:00:00 -0500 Time.parse("70-10-31") {|year| year + (year < 70 ? 2000 : 1900)} #=> 1970-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
If the upper components of the given time are broken or missing, they are supplied with those of now
. For the lower components, the minimum values (1 or 0) are assumed if broken or missing. For example:
require 'time' # Suppose it is "Thu Nov 29 14:33:20 2001" now and # your time zone is EST which is GMT-5. now = Time.parse("Thu Nov 29 14:33:20 2001") Time.parse("16:30", now) #=> 2001-11-29 16:30:00 -0500 Time.parse("7/23", now) #=> 2001-07-23 00:00:00 -0500 Time.parse("Aug 31", now) #=> 2001-08-31 00:00:00 -0500 Time.parse("Aug 2000", now) #=> 2000-08-01 00:00:00 -0500
Since there are numerous conflicts among locally defined time zone abbreviations all over the world, this method is not intended to understand all of them. For example, the abbreviation “CST” is used variously as:
-06:00 in America/Chicago, -05:00 in America/Havana, +08:00 in Asia/Harbin, +09:30 in Australia/Darwin, +10:30 in Australia/Adelaide, etc.
Based on this fact, this method only understands the time zone abbreviations described in RFC 822 and the system time zone, in the order named. (i.e. a definition in RFC 822 overrides the system time zone definition.) The system time zone is taken from Time.local(year, 1, 1).zone
and Time.local(year, 7, 1).zone
. If the extracted time zone abbreviation does not match any of them, it is ignored and the given time is regarded as a local time.
ArgumentError
is raised if Date
._parse cannot extract information from date
or if the Time
class cannot represent specified date.
This method can be used as a fail-safe for other parsing methods as:
Time.rfc2822(date) rescue Time.parse(date) Time.httpdate(date) rescue Time.parse(date) Time.xmlschema(date) rescue Time.parse(date)
A failure of Time.parse
should be checked, though.
You must require 'time' to use this method.
# File lib/time.rb, line 370 def parse(date, now=self.now) comp = !block_given? d = Date._parse(date, comp) year = d[:year] year = yield(year) if year && !comp make_time(date, year, d[:yday], d[:mon], d[:mday], d[:hour], d[:min], d[:sec], d[:sec_fraction], d[:zone], now) end
Parses date
as date-time defined by RFC 2822 and converts it to a Time
object. The format is identical to the date format defined by RFC 822 and updated by RFC 1123.
ArgumentError
is raised if date
is not compliant with RFC 2822 or if the Time
class cannot represent specified date.
See rfc2822
for more information on this format.
require 'time' Time.rfc2822("Wed, 05 Oct 2011 22:26:12 -0400") #=> 2010-10-05 22:26:12 -0400

Works similar to parse
except that instead of using a heuristic to detect the format of the input string, you provide a second argument that describes the format of the string.
If a block is given, the year described in date
is converted by the block. For example:

Parses date
as a dateTime defined by the XML
Schema and converts it to a Time
object. The format is a restricted version of the format defined by ISO 8601.
ArgumentError
is raised if date
is not compliant with the format or if the Time
class cannot represent specified date.
See xmlschema
for more information on this format.

Return the number of seconds the specified time zone differs from UTC.
Numeric
time zones that include minutes, such as -10:00
or +1330
will work, as will simpler hour-only time zones like -10
or +13
.
Textual time zones listed in ZoneOffset are also supported.
If the time zone does not match any of the above, zone_offset
will check if the local time zone (both with and without potential Daylight Saving Time changes being in effect) matches zone
. Specifying a value for year
will change the year used to find the local time zone.
If zone_offset
is unable to determine the offset, nil will be returned.

Formats time according to the directives in the given format string.
The directives begin with a percent (%) character. Any text not listed as a directive will be passed through to the output string.
The directive consists of a percent (%) character, zero or more flags, optional minimum field width, optional modifier and a conversion specifier as follows:
%<flags><width><modifier><conversion>
Flags:
- don't pad a numerical output _ use spaces for padding 0 use zeros for padding ^ upcase the result string # change case : use colons for %z
The minimum field width specifies the minimum width.
The modifiers are “E” and “O”. They are ignored.
Format directives:
Date (Year, Month, Day): %Y - Year with century if provided, will pad result at least 4 digits. -0001, 0000, 1995, 2009, 14292, etc. %C - year / 100 (rounded down such as 20 in 2009) %y - year % 100 (00..99) %m - Month of the year, zero-padded (01..12) %_m blank-padded ( 1..12) %-m no-padded (1..12) %B - The full month name (``January'') %^B uppercased (``JANUARY'') %b - The abbreviated month name (``Jan'') %^b uppercased (``JAN'') %h - Equivalent to %b %d - Day of the month, zero-padded (01..31) %-d no-padded (1..31) %e - Day of the month, blank-padded ( 1..31) %j - Day of the year (001..366) Time (Hour, Minute, Second, Subsecond): %H - Hour of the day, 24-hour clock, zero-padded (00..23) %k - Hour of the day, 24-hour clock, blank-padded ( 0..23) %I - Hour of the day, 12-hour clock, zero-padded (01..12) %l - Hour of the day, 12-hour clock, blank-padded ( 1..12) %P - Meridian indicator, lowercase (``am'' or ``pm'') %p - Meridian indicator, uppercase (``AM'' or ``PM'') %M - Minute of the hour (00..59) %S - Second of the minute (00..60) %L - Millisecond of the second (000..999) The digits under millisecond are truncated to not produce 1000. %N - Fractional seconds digits, default is 9 digits (nanosecond) %3N millisecond (3 digits) %6N microsecond (6 digits) %9N nanosecond (9 digits) %12N picosecond (12 digits) %15N femtosecond (15 digits) %18N attosecond (18 digits) %21N zeptosecond (21 digits) %24N yoctosecond (24 digits) The digits under the specified length are truncated to avoid carry up. Time zone: %z - Time zone as hour and minute offset from UTC (e.g. +0900) %:z - hour and minute offset from UTC with a colon (e.g. +09:00) %::z - hour, minute and second offset from UTC (e.g. +09:00:00) %Z - Abbreviated time zone name or similar information. (OS dependent) Weekday: %A - The full weekday name (``Sunday'') %^A uppercased (``SUNDAY'') %a - The abbreviated name (``Sun'') %^a uppercased (``SUN'') %u - Day of the week (Monday is 1, 1..7) %w - Day of the week (Sunday is 0, 0..6) ISO 8601 week-based year and week number: The first week of YYYY starts with a Monday and includes YYYY-01-04. The days in the year before the first week are in the last week of the previous year. %G - The week-based year %g - The last 2 digits of the week-based year (00..99) %V - Week number of the week-based year (01..53) Week number: The first week of YYYY that starts with a Sunday or Monday (according to %U or %W). The days in the year before the first week are in week 0. %U - Week number of the year. The week starts with Sunday. (00..53) %W - Week number of the year. The week starts with Monday. (00..53) Seconds since the Epoch: %s - Number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. Literal string: %n - Newline character (\n) %t - Tab character (\t) %% - Literal ``%'' character Combination: %c - date and time (%a %b %e %T %Y) %D - Date (%m/%d/%y) %F - The ISO 8601 date format (%Y-%m-%d) %v - VMS date (%e-%^b-%4Y) %x - Same as %D %X - Same as %T %r - 12-hour time (%I:%M:%S %p) %R - 24-hour time (%H:%M) %T - 24-hour time (%H:%M:%S)
This method is similar to strftime() function defined in ISO C and POSIX.
While all directives are locale independent since Ruby 1.9, %Z is platform dependent. So, the result may differ even if the same format string is used in other systems such as C.
%z is recommended over %Z. %Z doesn't identify the timezone. For example, “CST” is used at America/Chicago (-06:00), America/Havana (-05:00), Asia/Harbin (+08:00), Australia/Darwin (+09:30) and Australia/Adelaide (+10:30). Also, %Z is highly dependent on the operating system. For example, it may generate a non ASCII string on Japanese Windows, i.e. the result can be different to “JST”. So the numeric time zone offset, %z, is recommended.
Examples:

This method converts a Time
object to a String
. The String
contains the time in W3CDTF date/time format.
The W3CDTF format is defined here: www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime
Time.now.w3cdtf # => "2013-08-26T14:12:10.817124-07:00"

static VALUE time_wednesday(VALUE time) { wday_p(3); }
Returns a string which represents the time as a dateTime defined by XML
Schema:
CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssTZD
where TZD is Z or [+-]hh:mm.
If self is a UTC time, Z is used as TZD. [+-]hh:mm is used otherwise.
fractional_digits
specifies a number of digits to use for fractional seconds. Its default value is 0.
require 'time' t = Time.now t.iso8601 # => "2011-10-05T22:26:12-04:00"
You must require 'time' to use this method.
