class DateTime

Active Model DateTime Type

Attribute type to represent dates and times. It is registered under the :datetime key.

“‘ class Event

include ActiveModel::Attributes

attribute :start, :datetime

end

event = Event.new event.start = “Wed, 04 Sep 2013 03:00:00 EAT”

event.start.class # => Time event.start.year # => 2013 event.start.month # => 9 event.start.day # => 4 event.start.hour # => 3 event.start.min # => 0 event.start.sec # => 0 event.start.zone # => “EAT” “‘

String values are parsed using the ISO 8601 datetime format. Use the :time type instead to parse partial time-only values.

The degree of sub-second precision can be customized when declaring an attribute:

“‘ class Event

include ActiveModel::Attributes

attribute :start, :datetime, precision: 4

end “‘
