How would one calculate ''this weekend''?
In my event model I have:
def self.dates_for_time_range(range)
case range
when ''today'' then [Date.today, Date.today]
when ''tomorrow'' then [Date.tomorrow, Date.tomorrow]
when ''this_week'' then [Date.today,
1.week.from_now.to_date]
else raise ArgumentError, "Incorrect time range: #{range}"
end
end
Which works perfectly, but trying to figure out what ''this
weekend''
has proven to be a bit more difficult.

I''m sure Fred will have a better way of attacking this but something like this should work: [(1.week.from_now.beginning_of_week-2.days).to_date, 1.week.from_now.beginning_of_week.to_date] On May 19, 11:25 am, Laughlink <m...-Pd2240bJ1K0yaJ3wHwELyQ@public.gmane.org> wrote:> How would one calculate ''this weekend''? > > In my event model I have: > > def self.dates_for_time_range(range) > case range > when ''today'' then [Date.today, Date.today] > when ''tomorrow'' then [Date.tomorrow, Date.tomorrow] > when ''this_week'' then [Date.today, 1.week.from_now.to_date] > else raise ArgumentError, "Incorrect time range: #{range}" > end > end > > Which works perfectly, but trying to figure out what ''this weekend'' > has proven to be a bit more difficult.--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks alot! This works exactly right. I modified the -2 to -3 to include Friday. This is actually very close to what I had tried, but I did not have the parenthesis correct. Too bad I wasted a whole day before trying the forum.

Probably overkill for this simple question but chronic so cool, I
thought I would mention it. Chronic is an incredible time parsing
library that makes parsing natural languages into time a sinch. ''next
weekend'' is only the tip of the iceberg.

Chronic.parse(''tomorrow'')

Chronic.parse(''monday'', :context => :past)
