class Date

Class Date provides methods for storing and manipulating calendar dates.

Consider using class Time instead of class Date if:

You need both dates and times; Date handles only dates.
You need only Gregorian dates (and not Julian dates); see Julian and Gregorian Calendars.

A Date object, once created, is immutable, and cannot be modified.

Creating a Date¶ ↑

You can create a date for the current date, using Date.today:

Date.today # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>

You can create a specific date from various combinations of arguments:

Date.new takes integer year, month, and day-of-month:

Date.new(1999, 12, 31) # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>

Date.ordinal takes integer year and day-of-year:

Date.ordinal(1999, 365) # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>

Date.jd takes integer Julian day:

Date.jd(2451544) # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>

Date.commercial takes integer commercial data (year, week, day-of-week):
```
Date.commercial(1999, 52, 5) # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
```

Date.parse takes a string, which it parses heuristically:

Date.parse('1999-12-31')    # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
Date.parse('31-12-1999')    # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
Date.parse('1999-365')      # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
Date.parse('1999-W52-5')    # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>

Date.strptime takes a date string and a format string, then parses the date string according to the format string:

Date.strptime('1999-12-31', '%Y-%m-%d')  # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
Date.strptime('31-12-1999', '%d-%m-%Y')  # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
Date.strptime('1999-365', '%Y-%j')       # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
Date.strptime('1999-W52-5', '%G-W%V-%u') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
Date.strptime('1999 52 5', '%Y %U %w')   # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
Date.strptime('1999 52 5', '%Y %W %u')   # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
Date.strptime('fri31dec99', '%a%d%b%y')  # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>

See also the specialized methods in “Specialized Format Strings” in Formats for Dates and Times

Argument `limit`¶ ↑

Certain singleton methods in Date that parse string arguments also take optional keyword argument limit, which can limit the length of the string argument.

When limit is:

Non-negative: raises ArgumentError if the string length is greater than limit.
Other numeric or nil: ignores limit.
Other non-numeric: raises TypeError.

Returns a new Date object constructed from the arguments.

Argument cwyear gives the year, and should be an integer.

Argument cweek gives the index of the week within the year, and should be in range (1..53) or (-53..-1); in some years, 53 or -53 will be out-of-range; if negative, counts backward from the end of the year:

Date.commercial(2022, 1, 1).to_s  # => "2022-01-03"
Date.commercial(2022, 52, 1).to_s # => "2022-12-26"

Argument cwday gives the indes of the weekday within the week, and should be in range (1..7) or (-7..-1); 1 or -7 is Monday; if negative, counts backward from the end of the week:

Date.commercial(2022, 1, 1).to_s  # => "2022-01-03"
Date.commercial(2022, 1, -7).to_s # => "2022-01-03"

When cweek is 1:

If January 1 is a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, the first week begins in the week after:

Date::ABBR_DAYNAMES[Date.new(2023, 1, 1).wday] # => "Sun"
Date.commercial(2023, 1, 1).to_s # => "2023-01-02"
Date.commercial(2023, 1, 7).to_s # => "2023-01-08"

Otherwise, the first week is the week of January 1, which may mean some of the days fall on the year before:

Date::ABBR_DAYNAMES[Date.new(2020, 1, 1).wday] # => "Wed"
Date.commercial(2020, 1, 1).to_s # => "2019-12-30"

Date.new(2022, 2, 4).to_s  # => "2022-02-04"

Argument month should be in range (1..12) or range (-12..-1); when the argument is negative, counts backward from the end of the year:

Date.new(2022, -11, 4).to_s # => "2022-02-04"

Argument mday should be in range (1..n) or range (-n..-1) where n is the number of days in the month; when the argument is negative, counts backward from the end of the month.

Returns a new Date object formed fom the arguments.

With no arguments, returns the date for January 1, -4712:

Date.ordinal.to_s # => "-4712-01-01"

With argument year, returns the date for January 1 of that year:

Date.ordinal(2001).to_s  # => "2001-01-01"
Date.ordinal(-2001).to_s # => "-2001-01-01"

With positive argument yday == n, returns the date for the nth day of the given year:

Date.ordinal(2001, 14).to_s # => "2001-01-14"

With negative argument yday, counts backward from the end of the year:

Date.ordinal(2001, -14).to_s # => "2001-12-18"

Raises an exception if yday is zero or out of range.

Note: This method recognizes many forms in string, but it is not a validator. For formats, see “Specialized Format Strings” in Formats for Dates and Times If string does not specify a valid date, the result is unpredictable; consider using Date._strptime instead.

Returns a new Date object with values parsed from string:

Date.parse('2001-02-03')   # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>

Date.parse('3rd Feb 2001') # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>

If comp is true and the given year is in the range (0..99), the current century is supplied; otherwise, the year is taken as given:

Date.parse('01-02-03', true)  # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>

Returns a new Date object representing the date n months earlier; n should be a numeric:

(Date.new(2001, 2, 3) << 1).to_s  # => "2001-01-03"
(Date.new(2001, 2, 3) << -2).to_s # => "2001-04-03"

When the same day does not exist for the new month, the last day of that month is used instead:

(Date.new(2001, 3, 31) << 1).to_s  # => "2001-02-28"
(Date.new(2001, 3, 31) << -6).to_s # => "2001-09-30"

This results in the following, possibly unexpected, behaviors:

d0 = Date.new(2001, 3, 31)
d0 << 2      # => #<Date: 2001-01-31>
d0 << 1 << 1 # => #<Date: 2001-01-28>

d0 = Date.new(2001, 3, 31)
d1 = d0 << 1  # => #<Date: 2001-02-28>

Returns a new Date object representing the date n months later; n should be a numeric:

(Date.new(2001, 2, 3) >> -2).to_s # => "2000-12-03"

When the same day does not exist for the new month, the last day of that month is used instead:

(Date.new(2001, 1, 31) >> 1).to_s  # => "2001-02-28"
(Date.new(2001, 1, 31) >> -4).to_s # => "2000-09-30"

This results in the following, possibly unexpected, behaviors:

d0 = Date.new(2001, 1, 31)
d1 = d0 >> 1 # => #<Date: 2001-02-28>
d2 = d1 >> 1 # => #<Date: 2001-03-28>

d0 = Date.new(2001, 1, 31)
d1 = d0 >> 1  # => #<Date: 2001-02-28>
d2 = d1 >> -1 # => #<Date: 2001-01-28>

to_json (*args)

Source

# File ext/json/lib/json/add/date.rb, line 51
def to_json(*args)
  as_json.to_json(*args)
end

Returns a JSON string representing self:

require 'json/add/date'
puts Date.today.to_json

Output:

{"json_class":"Date","y":2023,"m":11,"d":21,"sg":2299161.0}

to_s → string

Source

static VALUE
d_lite_to_s(VALUE self)
{
    return strftimev("%Y-%m-%d", self, set_tmx);
}

Returns a string representation of the date in self in ISO 8601 extended date format ('%Y-%m-%d'):

Date.new(2001, 2, 3).to_s # => "2001-02-03"

to_time → time

Source

static VALUE
date_to_time(VALUE self)
{
    VALUE t;

        INT2FIX(m_mday(adat)));
    RB_GC_GUARD(self); /* may be the converted gregorian */
    return t;
}

Returns a new Time object with the same value as self; if self is a Julian date, derives its Gregorian date for conversion to the Time object:

Date.new(2001, 2, 3).to_time               # => 2001-02-03 00:00:00 -0600
Date.new(2001, 2, 3, Date::JULIAN).to_time # => 2001-02-16 00:00:00 -0600

Source

static VALUE
d_lite_tuesday_p(VALUE self)
{
    get_d1(self);

}

Returns true if self is a Tuesday, false otherwise.

upto(max){|date| ... } → self

Source

static VALUE
d_lite_upto(VALUE self, VALUE max)
{
    VALUE date;

    RETURN_ENUMERATOR(self, 1, &max);

    date = self;
    while (FIX2INT(d_lite_cmp(date, max)) <= 0) {
        rb_yield(date);
        date = d_lite_plus(date, INT2FIX(1));
    }
    return self;
}

Equivalent to step with arguments max and 1.

static VALUE
d_lite_wday(VALUE self)
{
    get_d1(self);
    return INT2FIX(m_wday(dat));

Returns the day of week in range (0..6); Sunday is 0:

Date.new(2001, 2, 3).wday # => 6

wednesday? → true or false

Source

static VALUE
d_lite_wednesday_p(VALUE self)
{
    get_d1(self);
