TimeExtensions Plugin
2006-11-14
A minor plugin for all of you. This plugin merely adds two new methods to Time and Date:
test/time_extensions_test.rb
1 class TimeExtensionsTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
2 def test_really_in_future
3 assert 1.second.from_now.in_future?
4 end
5
6 def test_in_future_but_past
7 assert !1.second.ago.in_future?
8 end
9
10 def test_really_in_past
11 assert 1.second.ago.in_past?
12 end
13
14 def test_in_past_but_future
15 assert !1.second.from_now.in_future?
16 end
17 end
This makes for much more readable code:
1 if @post.published_at.in_future? then
2 # do something
3 else
4 # do something else
5 end
Installation:
1 $ script/plugin install \
2 svn://svn.teksol.info/svn/rails/plugins/time_extensions \
3 vendor/plugins/time_extensions
