Allows override of Time.zone
locally inside supplied block; resets Time.zone
to existing value when done.
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
around_action :set_time_zone
private
def set_time_zone
Time.use_zone(current_user.timezone) { yield }
end
end
NOTE: This won’t affect any ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone
objects that have already been created, e.g. any model timestamp attributes that have been read before the block will remain in the application’s default timezone.

Returns the TimeZone for the current request, if this has been set (via Time.zone=
). If Time.zone
has not been set for the current request, returns the TimeZone specified in config.time_zone
.
Source code GitHub
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/time/zones.rb, line 14
def zone
::ActiveSupport::IsolatedExecutionState[:time_zone] || zone_default
end
Sets Time.zone
to a TimeZone object for the current request/thread.
This method accepts any of the following:
-
A Rails TimeZone object.
-
An identifier for a Rails TimeZone object (e.g., “Eastern Time (US & Canada)”,
-5.hours
). -
A
TZInfo::Timezone
object. -
An identifier for a
TZInfo::Timezone
object (e.g., “America/New_York”).
Here’s an example of how you might set Time.zone
on a per request basis and reset it when the request is done. current_user.time_zone
just needs to return a string identifying the user’s preferred time zone:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
around_action :set_time_zone
def set_time_zone
if logged_in?
Time.use_zone(current_user.time_zone) { yield }
else
yield
end

Uses Date to provide precise Time calculations for years, months, and days according to the proleptic Gregorian calendar. The options
parameter takes a hash with any of these keys: :years
, :months
, :weeks
, :days
, :hours
, :minutes
, :seconds
.
Time.new(2015, 8, 1, 14, 35, 0).advance(seconds: 1) # => 2015-08-01 14:35:01 -0700

Just like Date#advance, increments are applied in order of time units from largest to smallest. This order can affect the result around the end of a month.

Returns a new Time where one or more of the elements have been changed according to the options
parameter. The time options (:hour

) reset cascadingly, so if only the hour is passed, then minute, sec, usec, and nsec is set to 0. If the hour and minute is passed, then sec, usec, and nsec is set to 0. The options
parameter takes a hash with any of these keys: :year
, :month
, :day
, :hour
, :min
, :sec
, :usec
, :nsec
, :offset
. Pass either :usec
or :nsec
, not both.
