class Date
Class Date provides methods for storing and manipulating calendar dates.
Consider using class Time instead of class Date if:
-
You need both dates and times; Date handles only dates.
-
You need only Gregorian dates (and not Julian dates); see Julian and Gregorian Calendars.
A Date object, once created, is immutable, and cannot be modified.
Creating a Date¶ ↑
You can create a date for the current date, using Date.today
:
Date.today # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
You can create a specific date from various combinations of arguments:
-
Date.new
takes integer year, month, and day-of-month:Date.new(1999, 12, 31) # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
-
Date.ordinal
takes integer year and day-of-year:Date.ordinal(1999, 365) # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
-
Date.jd
takes integer Julian day:Date.jd(2451544) # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
-
Date.commercial
takes integer commercial data (year, week, day-of-week):Date.commercial(1999, 52, 5) # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
-
Date.parse
takes a string, which it parses heuristically:Date.parse('1999-12-31') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31> Date.parse('31-12-1999') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31> Date.parse('1999-365') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31> Date.parse('1999-W52-5') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
-
Date.strptime
takes a date string and a format string, then parses the date string according to the format string:Date.strptime('1999-12-31', '%Y-%m-%d') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31> Date.strptime('31-12-1999', '%d-%m-%Y') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31> Date.strptime('1999-365', '%Y-%j') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31> Date.strptime('1999-W52-5', '%G-W%V-%u') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31> Date.strptime('1999 52 5', '%Y %U %w') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31> Date.strptime('1999 52 5', '%Y %W %u') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31> Date.strptime('fri31dec99', '%a%d%b%y') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>

Argument limit
¶ ↑
Certain singleton methods in Date that parse string arguments also take optional keyword argument limit
, which can limit the length of the string argument.
When limit
is:
-
Non-negative: raises ArgumentError if the string length is greater than limit.
-
Other numeric or
nil
: ignoreslimit
. -
Other non-numeric: raises TypeError.

Argument cwyear
gives the year, and should be an integer.
Argument cweek
gives the index of the week within the year, and should be in range (1..53) or (-53..-1); in some years, 53 or -53 will be out-of-range; if negative, counts backward from the end of the year:
