class Time
Time is an abstraction of dates and times. Time is stored internally as the number of seconds with subsecond since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.
The Time class treats GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) as equivalent. GMT is the older way of referring to these baseline times but persists in the names of calls on POSIX systems.
All times may have subsecond. Be aware of this fact when comparing times with each other – times that are apparently equal when displayed may be different when compared. (Since Ruby 2.7.0, Time#inspect shows subsecond but Time#to_s still doesn’t show subsecond.)
Since Ruby 1.9.2, Time implementation uses a signed 63 bit integer, Bignum or Rational. The integer is a number of nanoseconds since the Epoch which can represent 1823-11-12 to 2116-02-20. When Bignum or Rational is used (before 1823, after 2116, under nanosecond), Time works slower as when integer is used.
Examples¶ ↑
All of these examples were done using the EST timezone which is GMT-5.
Creating a new Time instance¶ ↑
You can create a new instance of Time with Time.new. This will use the current system time. Time.now is an alias for this. You can also pass parts of the time to Time.new such as year, month, minute, etc. When you want to construct a time this way you must pass at least a year. If you pass the year with nothing else time will default to January 1 of that year at 00:00:00 with the current system timezone. Here are some examples:
Time.new(2002) #=> 2002-01-01 00:00:00 -0500 Time.new(2002, 10) #=> 2002-10-01 00:00:00 -0500 Time.new(2002, 10, 31) #=> 2002-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
You can pass a UTC offset:
Time.new(2002, 10, 31, 2, 2, 2, "+02:00") #=> 2002-10-31 02:02:02 +0200
Or a timezone object:
tz = timezone("Europe/Athens") # Eastern European Time, UTC+2 Time.new(2002, 10, 31, 2, 2, 2, tz) #=> 2002-10-31 02:02:02 +0200
You can also use Time.local and Time.utc to infer local and UTC timezones instead of using the current system setting.
You can also create a new time using Time.at which takes the number of seconds (with subsecond) since the Unix Epoch.
Time.at(628232400) #=> 1989-11-28 00:00:00 -0500
Working with an instance of Time¶ ↑
Once you have an instance of Time there is a multitude of things you can do with it. Below are some examples. For all of the following examples, we will work on the assumption that you have done the following:
t = Time.new(1993, 02, 24, 12, 0, 0, "+09:00")
Was that a monday?
t.monday? #=> false
What year was that again?
t.year #=> 1993
Was it daylight savings at the time?
t.dst? #=> false
What’s the day a year later?
t + (60*60*24*365) #=> 1994-02-24 12:00:00 +0900
How many seconds was that since the Unix Epoch?
t.to_i #=> 730522800
You can also do standard functions like compare two times.
t1 = Time.new(2010) t2 = Time.new(2011) t1 == t2 #=> false t1 == t1 #=> true t1 < t2 #=> true t1 > t2 #=> false Time.new(2010,10,31).between?(t1, t2) #=> true
Timezone argument¶ ↑
A timezone argument must have local_to_utc and utc_to_local methods, and may have name, abbr, and dst? methods.
The local_to_utc method should convert a Time-like object from the timezone to UTC, and utc_to_local is the opposite. The result also should be a Time or Time-like object (not necessary to be the same class). The zone of the result is just ignored. Time-like argument to these methods is similar to a Time object in UTC without subsecond; it has attribute readers for the parts, e.g. year, month, and so on, and epoch time readers, to_i. The subsecond attributes are fixed as 0, and utc_offset, zone, isdst, and their aliases are same as a Time object in UTC. Also to_time, +, and - methods are defined.
The name method is used for marshaling. If this method is not defined on a timezone object, Time objects using that timezone object can not be dumped by Marshal.
The abbr method is used by ‘%Z’ in strftime.
The dst? method is called with a Time value and should return whether the Time value is in daylight savings time in the zone.
Auto conversion to Timezone¶ ↑
At loading marshaled data, a timezone name will be converted to a timezone object by find_timezone class method, if the method is defined.
Similarly, that class method will be called when a timezone argument does not have the necessary methods mentioned above.
Public Class Methods
Creates a new Time object with the value given by time, the given number of seconds_with_frac, or seconds and microseconds_with_frac since the Epoch. seconds_with_frac and microseconds_with_frac can be an Integer, Float, Rational, or other Numeric.
If in argument is given, the result is in that timezone or UTC offset, or if a numeric argument is given, the result is in local time. The in argument accepts the same types of arguments as tz argument of Time.new: string, number of seconds, or a timezone object.
Time.at(0) #=> 1969-12-31 18:00:00 -0600 Time.at(Time.at(0)) #=> 1969-12-31 18:00:00 -0600 Time.at(946702800) #=> 1999-12-31 23:00:00 -0600 Time.at(-284061600) #=> 1960-12-31 00:00:00 -0600 Time.at(946684800.2).usec #=> 200000 Time.at(946684800, 123456.789).nsec #=> 123456789 Time.at(946684800, 123456789, :nsec).nsec #=> 123456789 Time.at(1582721899, in: "+09:00") #=> 2020-02-26 21:58:19 +0900 Time.at(1582721899, in: "UTC") #=> 2020-02-26 12:58:19 UTC Time.at(1582721899, in: "C") #=> 2020-02-26 13:58:19 +0300 Time.at(1582721899, in: 32400) #=> 2020-02-26 21:58:19 +0900 require 'tzinfo' Time.at(1582721899, in: TZInfo::Timezone.get('Europe/Kiev')) #=> 2020-02-26 14:58:19 +0200

Returns a Time object.
It is initialized to the current system time if no argument is given.
Note: The new object will use the resolution available on your system clock, and may include subsecond.
If one or more arguments are specified, the time is initialized to the specified time.
sec may have subsecond if it is a rational.
tz specifies the timezone. It can be an offset from UTC, given either as a string such as “+09:00” or a single letter “A”..“Z” excluding “J” (so-called military time zone), or as a number of seconds such as 32400. Or it can be a timezone object, see Timezone argument for details.

Creates a Time object based on given values, interpreted as UTC (GMT). The year must be specified. Other values default to the minimum value for that field (and may be nil or omitted). Months may be specified by numbers from 1 to 12, or by the three-letter English month names. Hours are specified on a 24-hour clock (0..23). Raises an ArgumentError if any values are out of range. Will also accept ten arguments in the order output by Time#to_a.
sec_with_frac and usec_with_frac can have a fractional part.

Formats time according to the directives in the given format string.
The directives begin with a percent (%) character. Any text not listed as a directive will be passed through to the output string.
The directive consists of a percent (%) character, zero or more flags, optional minimum field width, optional modifier and a conversion specifier as follows:
%<flags><width><modifier><conversion>
Flags:
- don't pad a numerical output _ use spaces for padding 0 use zeros for padding ^ upcase the result string # change case : use colons for %z
The minimum field width specifies the minimum width.
The modifiers are “E” and “O”. They are ignored.
Format directives:
Date (Year, Month, Day):
%Y - Year with century if provided, will pad result at least 4 digits.
-0001, 0000, 1995, 2009, 14292, etc.
%C - year / 100 (rounded down such as 20 in 2009)
%y - year % 100 (00..99)
%m - Month of the year, zero-padded (01..12)
%_m blank-padded ( 1..12)
%-m no-padded (1..12)
%B - The full month name (``January'')
%^B uppercased (``JANUARY'')
%b - The abbreviated month name (``Jan'')
%^b uppercased (``JAN'')
%h - Equivalent to %b
%d - Day of the month, zero-padded (01..31)
%-d no-padded (1..31)
%e - Day of the month, blank-padded ( 1..31)
%j - Day of the year (001..366)
Time (Hour, Minute, Second, Subsecond):
%H - Hour of the day, 24-hour clock, zero-padded (00..23)
%k - Hour of the day, 24-hour clock, blank-padded ( 0..23)
%I - Hour of the day, 12-hour clock, zero-padded (01..12)
%l - Hour of the day, 12-hour clock, blank-padded ( 1..12)
%P - Meridian indicator, lowercase (``am'' or ``pm'')
%p - Meridian indicator, uppercase (``AM'' or ``PM'')
%M - Minute of the hour (00..59)
%S - Second of the minute (00..60)
%L - Millisecond of the second (000..999)
The digits under millisecond are truncated to not produce 1000.
%N - Fractional seconds digits, default is 9 digits (nanosecond)
%3N millisecond (3 digits)
%6N microsecond (6 digits)
%9N nanosecond (9 digits)
%12N picosecond (12 digits)
%15N femtosecond (15 digits)
%18N attosecond (18 digits)
%21N zeptosecond (21 digits)
%24N yoctosecond (24 digits)
The digits under the specified length are truncated to avoid
carry up.
Time zone:
%z - Time zone as hour and minute offset from UTC (e.g. +0900)
%:z - hour and minute offset from UTC with a colon (e.g. +09:00)
%::z - hour, minute and second offset from UTC (e.g. +09:00:00)
%Z - Abbreviated time zone name or similar information. (OS dependent)
Weekday:
%A - The full weekday name (``Sunday'')
%^A uppercased (``SUNDAY'')
%a - The abbreviated name (``Sun'')
%^a uppercased (``SUN'')
%u - Day of the week (Monday is 1, 1..7)
%w - Day of the week (Sunday is 0, 0..6)
ISO 8601 week-based year and week number:
The first week of YYYY starts with a Monday and includes YYYY-01-04.
The days in the year before the first week are in the last week of
the previous year.
%G - The week-based year
%g - The last 2 digits of the week-based year (00..99)
%V - Week number of the week-based year (01..53)
Week number:
The first week of YYYY that starts with a Sunday or Monday (according to %U
or %W). The days in the year before the first week are in week 0.
%U - Week number of the year. The week starts with Sunday. (00..53)
%W - Week number of the year. The week starts with Monday. (00..53)
Seconds since the Epoch:
%s - Number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.
Literal string:
%n - Newline character (\n)
%t - Tab character (\t)
%% - Literal ``%'' character
Combination:
%c - date and time (%a %b %e %T %Y)
%D - Date (%m/%d/%y)
%F - The ISO 8601 date format (%Y-%m-%d)
%v - VMS date (%e-%^b-%4Y)
%x - Same as %D
%X - Same as %T
%r - 12-hour time (%I:%M:%S %p)
%R - 24-hour time (%H:%M)
%T - 24-hour time (%H:%M:%S)
This method is similar to strftime() function defined in ISO C and POSIX.
While all directives are locale independent since Ruby 1.9, %Z is platform dependent. So, the result may differ even if the same format string is used in other systems such as C.
%z is recommended over %Z. %Z doesn’t identify the timezone. For example, “CST” is used at America/Chicago (-06:00), America/Havana (-05:00), Asia/Harbin (+08:00), Australia/Darwin (+09:30) and Australia/Adelaide (+10:30). Also, %Z is highly dependent on the operating system. For example, it may generate a non ASCII string on Japanese Windows, i.e. the result can be different to “JST”. So the numeric time zone offset, %z, is recommended.
Examples:
t = Time.new(2007,11,19,8,37,48,"-06:00") #=> 2007-11-19 08:37:48 -0600 t.strftime("Printed on %m/%d/%Y") #=> "Printed on 11/19/2007" t.strftime("at %I:%M %p") #=> "at 08:37 AM"

Returns a ten-element array of values for time:
[sec, min, hour, day, month, year, wday, yday, isdst, zone]
See the individual methods for an explanation of the valid ranges of each value. The ten elements can be passed directly to Time.utc or Time.local to create a new Time object.

Returns the value of time as a floating point number of seconds since the Epoch. The return value approximate the exact value in the Time object because floating point numbers cannot represent all rational numbers exactly.
t = Time.now #=> 2020-07-20 22:00:29.38740268 +0900 t.to_f #=> 1595250029.3874028 t.to_i #=> 1595250029
Note that IEEE 754 double is not accurate enough to represent the exact number of nanoseconds since the Epoch. (IEEE 754 double has 53bit mantissa. So it can represent exact number of nanoseconds only in ‘2 ** 53 / 1_000_000_000 / 60 / 60 / 24 = 104.2` days.) When Ruby uses a nanosecond-resolution clock function, such as clock_gettime of POSIX, to obtain the current time, Time#to_f can lost information of a Time object created with Time.now.
