class Time - Documentation for Ruby 3.4

class Time

A Time object represents a date and time:

Time.new(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0)

Although its value can be expressed as a single numeric (see Epoch Seconds below), it can be convenient to deal with the value by parts:

t = Time.new(-2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0.0)

t.year 
t.month 
t.mday 
t.hour 
t.min 
t.sec 
t.subsec 

t = Time.new(2000, 12, 31, 23, 59, 59.5)

t.year 
t.month 
t.mday 
t.hour 
t.min 
t.sec 
t.subsec
Epoch Seconds ↑

Epoch seconds is the exact number of seconds (including fractional subseconds) since the Unix Epoch, January 1, 1970.

You can retrieve that value exactly using method Time.to_r:

Time.at(0).to_r        
Time.at(0.999999).to_r

Other retrieval methods such as Time#to_i and Time#to_f may return a value that rounds or truncates subseconds.

Time Resolution ↑

A Time object derived from the system clock (for example, by method Time.now) has the resolution supported by the system.

Time Internal Representation ↑

Time implementation uses a signed 63 bit integer, Integer, or Rational. It is a number of nanoseconds since the Epoch. The signed 63 bit integer can represent 1823-11-12 to 2116-02-20. When Integer or Rational is used (before 1823, after 2116, under nanosecond), Time works slower than when the signed 63 bit integer is used.

Ruby uses the C function localtime and gmtime to map between the number and 6-tuple (year,month,day,hour,minute,second). localtime is used for local time and “gmtime” is used for UTC.

Integer and Rational has no range limit, but the localtime and gmtime has range limits due to the C types time_t and struct tm. If that limit is exceeded, Ruby extrapolates the localtime function.

The Time class always uses the Gregorian calendar. I.e. the proleptic Gregorian calendar is used. Other calendars, such as Julian calendar, are not supported.

time_t can represent 1901-12-14 to 2038-01-19 if it is 32 bit signed integer, -292277022657-01-27 to 292277026596-12-05 if it is 64 bit signed integer. However localtime on some platforms doesn’t supports negative time_t (before 1970).

struct tm has tm_year member to represent years. (tm_year = 0 means the year 1900.) It is defined as int in the C standard. tm_year can represent between -2147481748 to 2147485547 if int is 32 bit.

Ruby supports leap seconds as far as if the C function localtime and gmtime supports it. They use the tz database in most Unix systems. The tz database has timezones which supports leap seconds. For example, “Asia/Tokyo” doesn’t support leap seconds but “right/Asia/Tokyo” supports leap seconds. So, Ruby supports leap seconds if the TZ environment variable is set to “right/Asia/Tokyo” in most Unix systems.

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)         
Time.new(2002, 10)     
Time.new(2002, 10, 31)

You can pass a UTC offset:

Time.new(2002, 10, 31, 2, 2, 2, "+02:00")

Or a timezone object:

zone = timezone("Europe/Athens")      
Time.new(2002, 10, 31, 2, 2, 2, zone)

You can also use Time.local and Time.utc to infer 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 (with subsecond) since the Unix Epoch.

Time.at(628232400)
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?

What year was that again?

t.year

Was it daylight savings at the time?

t.dst?

What’s the day a year later?

t + (60*60*24*365)

How many seconds was that since the Unix Epoch?

t.to_i

You can also do standard functions like compare two times.

t1 = Time.new(2010)
t2 = Time.new(2011)

t1 == t2 
t1 == t1 
t1 <  t2 
t1 >  t2 

Time.new(2010,10,31).between?(t1, t2)
What’s Here ↑

First, what’s elsewhere. Class Time:

Here, class Time provides methods that are useful for:

Methods for Creating ↑ Methods for Fetching ↑ Methods for Querying ↑ Methods for Comparing ↑ Methods for Converting ↑ Methods for Rounding ↑

For the forms of argument zone, see Timezone Specifiers.

Timezone Specifiers ↑

Certain Time methods accept arguments that specify timezones:

The value given with any of these must be one of the following (each detailed below):

Hours/Minutes Offsets ↑

The zone value may be a string offset from UTC in the form '+HH:MM' or '-HH:MM', where:

Examples:

t = Time.utc(2000, 1, 1, 20, 15, 1) 
Time.at(t, in: '-23:59')            
Time.at(t, in: '+23:59')
Single-Letter Offsets ↑

The zone value may be a letter in the range 'A'..'I' or 'K'..'Z'; see List of military time zones:

t = Time.utc(2000, 1, 1, 20, 15, 1) 
Time.at(t, in: 'A')                 
Time.at(t, in: 'I')                 
Time.at(t, in: 'K')                 
Time.at(t, in: 'Y')                 
Time.at(t, in: 'Z')
Integer Offsets ↑

The zone value may be an integer number of seconds in the range -86399..86399:

t = Time.utc(2000, 1, 1, 20, 15, 1) 
Time.at(t, in: -86399)              
Time.at(t, in: 86399)
Timezone Objects ↑

The zone value may be an object responding to certain timezone methods, an instance of Timezone and TZInfo for example.

The timezone methods are:

A custom timezone class may have these instance methods, which will be called if defined:

Time-Like Objects ↑

A Time-like object is a container object capable of interfacing with timezone libraries for timezone conversion.

The argument to the timezone conversion methods above will have attributes similar to Time, except that timezone related attributes are meaningless.

The objects returned by local_to_utc and utc_to_local methods of the timezone object may be of the same class as their arguments, of arbitrary object classes, or of class Integer.

For a returned class other than Integer, the class must have the following methods:

For a returned Integer, its components, decomposed in UTC, are interpreted as times in the specified timezone.

Timezone Names ↑

If the class (the receiver of class methods, or the class of the receiver of instance methods) has find_timezone singleton method, this method is called to achieve the corresponding timezone object from a timezone name.

For example, using Timezone:

class TimeWithTimezone < Time
  require 'timezone'
  def self.find_timezone(z) = Timezone[z]
end

TimeWithTimezone.now(in: "America/New_York")        
TimeWithTimezone.new("2023-12-25 America/New_York")

Or, using TZInfo:

class TimeWithTZInfo < Time
  require 'tzinfo'
  def self.find_timezone(z) = TZInfo::Timezone.get(z)
end

TimeWithTZInfo.now(in: "America/New_York")          
TimeWithTZInfo.new("2023-12-25 America/New_York")

You can define this method per subclasses, or on the toplevel Time class.

  if Primitive.mandatory_only?
    Primitive.time_s_at1(time)
  else
    Primitive.time_s_at(time, subsec, unit, Primitive.arg!(:in))
  end
end

Returns a new Time object based on the given arguments.

Required argument time may be either of:

Examples:

t = Time.new(2000, 12, 31, 23, 59, 59) 
secs = t.to_i

Time.at(1000000000)                    
Time.at(0)                             
Time.at(-1000000000)

Optional numeric argument subsec and optional symbol argument units work together to specify subseconds for the returned time; argument units specifies the units for subsec:

Optional keyword argument in: zone specifies the timezone for the returned time:

Time.at(secs, in: '+12:00') 
Time.at(secs, in: '-12:00')

Returns a new Time object based on the given arguments, by default in the local timezone.

With no positional arguments, returns the value of Time.now:

Time.new

With one string argument that represents a time, returns a new Time object based on the given argument, in the local timezone.

Time.new('2000-12-31 23:59:59.5')              
Time.new('2000-12-31 23:59:59.5 +0900')        
Time.new('2000-12-31 23:59:59.5', in: '+0900') 
Time.new('2000-12-31 23:59:59.5')              
Time.new('2000-12-31 23:59:59.56789', precision: 3)

With one to six arguments, returns a new Time object based on the given arguments, in the local timezone.

Time.new(2000, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

For the positional arguments (other than zone):

These values may be:

When positional argument zone or keyword argument in: is given, the new Time object is in the specified timezone. For the forms of argument zone, see Timezone Specifiers:

Time.new(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, '+12:00')

Time.new(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, in: '-12:00')

Time.new(in: '-12:00')

Since in: keyword argument just provides the default, so if the first argument in single string form contains time zone information, this keyword argument will be silently ignored.

Source 

def self.now(in: nil)
  Primitive.time_s_now(Primitive.arg!(:in))

Creates a new Time object from the current system time. This is the same as Time.new without arguments.

Time.now(in: '+04:00')

def parse(date, now=self.now)
  comp = !block_given?
  d = Date._parse(date, comp)
  year = d[:year]

  make_time(date, year, d[:yday], d[:mon], d[:mday], d[:hour], d[:min], d[:sec], d[:sec_fraction], d[:zone], now)
end

Takes a string representation of a Time and attempts to parse it using a heuristic.

This method **does not** function as a validator. If the input string does not match valid formats strictly, you may get a cryptic result. Should consider to use Time.strptime instead of this method as possible.

require 'time'

Time.parse("2010-10-31")

Any missing pieces of the date are inferred based on the current date.

require 'time'


Time.parse("12:00")

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)  
Time.parse("12:00", t)  
Time.parse("12:00", dt) 
Time.parse("12:00", md)

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)}

Time.parse("70-10-31") {|year| year + (year < 70 ? 2000 : 1900)}

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'



now = Time.parse("Thu Nov 29 14:33:20 2001")
Time.parse("16:30", now)     
Time.parse("7/23", now)      
Time.parse("Aug 31", now)    
Time.parse("Aug 2000", now)

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.

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.

Raises ArgumentError if the date or format is invalid.

If a block is given, the year described in date is converted by the block. For example:

}

Returns a new Time object based the on given arguments, in the UTC timezone.

With one to seven arguments given, the arguments are interpreted as in the first calling sequence above:

Time.utc(year, month = 1, mday = 1, hour = 0, min = 0, sec = 0, usec = 0)

Examples:

Time.utc(2000)  
Time.utc(-2000)

There are no minimum and maximum values for the required argument year.

For the optional arguments:

The values may be:

When exactly ten arguments are given, the arguments are interpreted as in the second calling sequence above:

Time.utc(sec, min, hour, mday, month, year, dummy, dummy, dummy, dummy)

where the dummy arguments are ignored:

a = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Time.utc(*a)

This form is useful for creating a Time object from a 10-element array returned by Time.to_a:

t = Time.new(2000, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) 
a = t.to_a   
Time.utc(*a)

The two forms have their first six arguments in common, though in different orders; the ranges of these common arguments are the same for both forms; see above.

Raises an exception if the number of arguments is eight, nine, or greater than ten.

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.
