TimeExtensions Plugin

November 13th, 2006

A minor plugin for all of you. This plugin merely adds two new methods to Time and Date:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17

class TimeExtensionsTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def test_really_in_future
    assert 1.second.from_now.in_future?
  end

  def test_in_future_but_past
    assert !1.second.ago.in_future?
  end

  def test_really_in_past
    assert 1.second.ago.in_past?
  end

  def test_in_past_but_future
    assert !1.second.from_now.in_future?
  end
end

This makes for much more readable code:

1
2
3
4
5

if @post.published_at.in_future? then
  # do something
else
  # do something else
end
Installation:
