parse(iso8601duration)

Creates a new Duration from string formatted according to ISO 8601 Duration.

See ISO 8601 for more information. This method allows negative parts to be present in pattern. If invalid string is provided, it will raise ActiveSupport::Duration::ISO8601Parser::ParsingError.

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 38
def parse(iso8601duration)
  parts = ISO8601Parser.new(iso8601duration).parse!
  new(calculate_total_seconds(parts), parts)
end
Instance Public methods
+(other)

Adds another Duration or a Numeric to this Duration. Numeric values are treated as seconds.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 92
def +(other)
  if Duration === other
    Duration.new(value + other.value, @parts + other.parts)
  else
    Duration.new(value + other, @parts + [[:seconds, other]])
  end
end
-(other)

Subtracts another Duration or a Numeric from this Duration. Numeric values are treated as seconds.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 102
def -(other)
  self + (-other)
end
==(other)

Returns true if other is also a Duration instance with the same value, or if other == value.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 121
def ==(other)
  if Duration === other
    other.value == value
  else
    other == value
  end
end
ago(time = ::Time.current)

Calculates a new Time or Date that is as far in the past as this Duration represents.

Also aliased as: until

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 180
def ago(time = ::Time.current)
  sum(-1, time)
end
eql?(other)

Returns true if other is also a Duration instance, which has the same parts as this one.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 163
def eql?(other)
  Duration === other && other.value.eql?(value)
end
from_now(time = ::Time.current)

hash()

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 167
def hash
  @value.hash
end
iso8601(precision: nil)

Build ISO 8601 Duration string for this duration. The precision parameter can be used to limit seconds' precision of duration.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 203
def iso8601(precision: nil)
  ISO8601Serializer.new(self, precision: precision).serialize
end
since(time = ::Time.current)

Calculates a new Time or Date that is as far in the future as this Duration represents.

Also aliased as: from_now

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 173
def since(time = ::Time.current)
  sum(1, time)
end
to_i()

Returns the number of seconds that this Duration represents.

1.minute.to_i   # => 60
1.hour.to_i     # => 3600
1.day.to_i      # => 86400

Note that this conversion makes some assumptions about the duration of some periods, e.g. months are always 30 days and years are 365.25 days:

# equivalent to 30.days.to_i
1.month.to_i    # => 2592000

# equivalent to 365.25.days.to_i
1.year.to_i     # => 31557600

In such cases, Ruby's core Date and Time should be used for precision date and time arithmetic.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 157
def to_i
  @value.to_i
end
to_s()

Returns the amount of seconds a duration covers as a string. For more information check #to_i method.

1.day.to_s # => "86400"

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 133
def to_s
