build(value)

Creates a new Duration from a seconds value that is converted to the individual parts:

ActiveSupport::Duration.build(31556952).parts # => {:years=>1}
ActiveSupport::Duration.build(2716146).parts  # => {:months=>1, :days=>1}

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.

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 445
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, after

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 408
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 1/12 of year and years are 365.2425 days:

# equivalent to (1.year / 12).to_i
1.month.to_i    # => 2629746

# equivalent to 365.2425.days.to_i
1.year.to_i     # => 31556952

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

Also aliased as: in_seconds

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/duration.rb, line 349
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.
