The TimeZone class serves as a wrapper around TZInfo::Timezone instances. It allows us to do the following:
-
Limit the set of zones provided by TZInfo to a meaningful subset of 146 zones.
-
Retrieve and display zones with a friendlier name (e.g., “Eastern Time (US & Canada)” instead of “America/New_York”).
-
Lazily load TZInfo::Timezone instances only when they're needed.
-
Create ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instances via TimeZone's
local
,parse
,at
andnow
methods.
If you set config.time_zone
in the Rails Application, you can
access this TimeZone object via
Time.zone
:
# application.rb:
class Application < Rails::Application
config.time_zone = 'Eastern Time (US & Canada)'
end
Time.zone # => #<TimeZone:0x514834...>
Time.zone.name # => "Eastern Time (US & Canada)"
Time.zone.now # => Sun, 18 May 2008 14:30:44 EDT -04:00
The version of TZInfo bundled with Active Support only includes the definitions necessary to support the zones defined by the TimeZone class. If you need to use zones that aren't defined by TimeZone, you'll need to install the TZInfo gem (if a recent version of the gem is installed locally, this will be used instead of the bundled version.)

Locate a specific time zone object. If the argument is a string, it is
interpreted to mean the name of the timezone to locate. If it is a numeric
value it is either the hour offset, or the second offset, of the timezone
to find. (The first one with that offset will be returned.) Returns
nil
if no such time zone is known to the system.
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 239 def [](arg) case arg when String begin @lazy_zones_map[arg] ||= create(arg).tap { |tz| tz.utc_offset } rescue TZInfo::InvalidTimezoneIdentifier nil end when Numeric, ActiveSupport::Duration arg *= 3600 if arg.abs <= 13 all.find { |z| z.utc_offset == arg.to_i } else raise ArgumentError, "invalid argument to TimeZone[]: #{arg.inspect}" end end
Returns a TimeZone instance with the given
name, or nil
if no such TimeZone
instance exists. (This exists to support the use of this class with the
composed_of
macro.)
Create a new TimeZone object with the given name and offset. The offset is the number of seconds that this time zone is offset from UTC (GMT). Seconds were chosen as the offset unit because that is the unit that Ruby uses to represent time zone offsets (see Time#utc_offset).
Assumes self represents an offset from UTC in seconds (as returned from Time#utc_offset) and turns this into an +HH:MM formatted string.
TimeZone.seconds_to_utc_offset(-21_600) # => "-06:00"
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 199 def seconds_to_utc_offset(seconds, colon = true) format = colon ? UTC_OFFSET_WITH_COLON : UTC_OFFSET_WITHOUT_COLON sign = (seconds < 0 ? '-' : '+') hours = seconds.abs / 3600 minutes = (seconds.abs % 3600) / 60 format % [sign, hours, minutes] end
A convenience method for returning a collection of TimeZone objects for time zones in the USA.
Compare this time zone to the parameter. The two are compared first on their offsets, and then by name.
Compare name and TZInfo
identifier to a supplied regexp, returning true
if a match is
found.
Method for creating new ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instance in time
zone of self
from number of seconds since the Unix epoch.
Time.zone = 'Hawaii' # => "Hawaii"
Time.utc(2000).to_f # => 946684800.0
Time.zone.at(946684800.0) # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 14:00:00 HST -10:00
Returns the offset of this time zone as a formatted string, of the format “+HH:MM”.
Method for creating new ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instance in time
zone of self
from given values.
Time.zone = 'Hawaii' # => "Hawaii"
Time.zone.local(2007, 2, 1, 15, 30, 45) # => Thu, 01 Feb 2007 15:30:45 HST -10:00
Adjust the given time to the simultaneous time in UTC. Returns a Time.utc() instance.
Returns an ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone
instance representing the current time in the time zone represented by
self
.
Time.zone = 'Hawaii' # => "Hawaii"
Time.zone.now # => Wed, 23 Jan 2008 20:24:27 HST -10:00
Method for creating new ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instance in time
zone of self
from parsed string.
Time.zone = 'Hawaii' # => "Hawaii"
Time.zone.parse('1999-12-31 14:00:00') # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 14:00:00 HST -10:00
If upper components are missing from the string, they are supplied from #now:
Time.zone.now # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 14:00:00 HST -10:00
Time.zone.parse('22:30:00') # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 22:30:00 HST -10:00
However, if the date component is not provided, but any other upper components are supplied, then the day of the month defaults to 1:
Time.zone.parse('Mar 2000') # => Wed, 01 Mar 2000 00:00:00 HST -10:00
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 349 def parse(str, now=now()) parts = Date._parse(str, false) return if parts.empty? time = Time.new( parts.fetch(:year, now.year), parts.fetch(:mon, now.month), parts.fetch(:mday, parts[:year] || parts[:mon] ? 1 : now.day), parts.fetch(:hour, 0), parts.fetch(:min, 0), parts.fetch(:sec, 0) + parts.fetch(:sec_fraction, 0), parts.fetch(:offset, 0) ) if parts[:offset] TimeWithZone.new(time.utc, self) else TimeWithZone.new(nil, self, time) end end
Available so that TimeZone instances respond like TZInfo::Timezone instances.
Available so that TimeZone instances respond like TZInfo::Timezone instances.
Returns a textual representation of this time zone.
Return the current date in this time zone.
Returns the next date in this time zone.
Returns the offset of this time zone from UTC in seconds.
Adjust the given time to the simultaneous time in the time zone represented
by self
. Returns a Time.utc() instance – if you want an ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instance, use DateAndTime::Zones#in_time_zone
instead.
