time-lord is a gem that gives you more human like expressions for time and space math. Underneath the covers time-lord gives you single purpose objects for handling the more complex parts of Time & Space. Specifically conversion, periods between two points, and scaling.

Examples

In time-lord you have Period objects:

1.hour.ago.class #=> <TimeLord::Period @beginning=2013-03-03 23:44:59 -0800, @ending=2013-03-04 00:44:59 -0800>

Periods, if forced into strings or integers, represent the number of seconds between the two points

1.hour.ago.to_i #=> -3600

Obviously Periods act a lot like a Range and can be coerced into one:

1.hour.ago.to_range #=> 1362383339..1362386939

You may have noticed the negative integer from Period#to_i. This represents the period beginning before the ending. The reverse comes from using Period#from_now:

1.hour.from_now.to_i #=> 3600

Periods also have a special Period#to_words method:

1.hour.ago.to_words #=> "1 hour ago"
200.minutes.ago.to_words #=> "3 hour ago"

Of course you can also do fun Time math:

Time.now #=> 2013-03-04 00:55:49 -0800
Time.now - 2.hours #=> 2013-03-03 22:55:50 -0800

Time is fun.

Installing

Requirements

  1. A blue telephone box (optional)

Like any other gem you can install it via the gem command:

$ gem install time-lord

Although I suggest using bundler:

gem 'time-lord', '~> 1.0'

Testing

To make sure you did everything right, just do the following:

$ ruby -e "1.hour.ago.to_words"
> 1 hour ago
