ActiveChronology

Easily scope your ActiveRecord models by timestamps or dates.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'activechronology', require: 'active_chronology'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install activechronology

Usage

set_chronology

From your ActiveRecord models, you can add chronological and reverse_chronological scopes by calling set_chronology. This accepts an attribute name as a parameter, and it defaults to created_at.

scope_by_timestamp

Calling scope_by_timestamp with a list of attribute names, you get the following methods defined, using :created_at as an example:

created_after(time)
created_before(time)
created_between(start time, end time)

Here's an example class:

class User
  set_chronology :last_seen_at
  scope_by_timestamp :last_seen_at
end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
