Hello, this is my first (very tiny) attempt to get involved. My thought is to supplement the #since / #ago family with methods that return a Range. Durations and dates/times could each get three methods: one for the future, one for the past, and one for both: 2.weeks.following 1.year.ago 2.weeks.preceding 1.year.ago 2.weeks.surrounding 1.year.ago 1.year.ago.and_the_following weeks: 2 1.year.ago.and_the_preceding weeks: 2 1.year.ago.and_the_surrounding weeks: 2
Also, infinite ranges will someday be universal. Currently endless (min..) are in 2.6, and beginless (..max) are in development. The following no-argument form will then be possible: case updated_at when 10.years.ago.and_the_preceding then #... when 1.year.ago.and_the_preceding then #... when 1.month.ago.and_the_preceding then #... Obviously implementing this is trivial since they'd just use #since/#ago for durations and #advance for times/dates. So do people want these methods? How frequently do you use time ranges? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
