Returns Time.zone.now when config.time_zone is set, otherwise just returns Time.now.
# File lib/active_support/core_ext/time/zones.rb, line 50 def current ::Time.zone_default ? ::Time.zone.now : ::Time.now end
Allows override of Time.zone locally inside supplied block; resets Time.zone to existing value when done.
# File lib/active_support/core_ext/time/zones.rb, line 42 def use_zone(time_zone) old_zone, ::Time.zone = ::Time.zone, get_zone(time_zone) yield ensure ::Time.zone = old_zone end
Returns the TimeZone for the current request, if this has been set (via Time.zone=). If Time.zone has not been set for the current request, returns the TimeZone specified in config.time_zone.
# File lib/active_support/core_ext/time/zones.rb, line 14 def zone Thread.current[:time_zone] || zone_default end
Sets Time.zone to a TimeZone object for the current request/thread.
This method accepts any of the following:
A Rails TimeZone object.
An identifier for a Rails TimeZone object (e.g., "Eastern Time (US & Canada)", -5.hours).
A TZInfo::Timezone object.
An identifier for a TZInfo::Timezone object (e.g., "America/New_York").
Here's an example of how you might set Time.zone on a per request basis -- current_user.time_zone just needs to return a string identifying the user's preferred TimeZone:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base before_filter :set_time_zone def set_time_zone Time.zone = current_user.time_zone end end
# File lib/active_support/core_ext/time/zones.rb, line 37 def zone=(time_zone) Thread.current[:time_zone] = get_zone(time_zone) end
