Can using Chronic impair your sense of time?
Haha..
I'm using Chronic to parse the time users add in the Calendar. Where the code开发者_如何学Python works and implements the right time, the end result is that, IF a user adds a time, then it has no date, and because it has no date, it will not show in results. Any ideas?
def set_dates
unless self.natural_date.blank? || Chronic.parse(self.natural_date).blank?
# check if we are dealing with a date or a date + time
if time_provided?(self.natural_date)
self.date = nil
self.time = Chronic.parse(self.natural_date)
else
self.date = Chronic.parse(self.natural_date).to_date
self.time = nil
end
end
unless self.natural_end_date.blank? || Chronic.parse(self.natural_end_date).blank?
# check if we are dealing with a date or a date + time
if time_provided?(self.natural_end_date)
self.end_date = nil
self.end_time = Chronic.parse(self.natural_end_date)
else
self.end_date = Chronic.parse(self.natural_end_date).to_date
self.end_time = nil
end
end
end
Edit:
Here is the time_provided? method:
def time_provided?(natural_date_string)
date_span = Chronic.parse(natural_date_string, :guess => false)
(date_span.last - date_span.first).to_i == 1
end
First, I'm not really sure what are you asking about, because it looks like the code intentionally does what you describe... When there's time provided, the date fields are assigned nil
. And I don't think that is Chronic is to blame because that's how your code works.
Not knowing your design (why there are separate date & time fields), the types of fields etc., I would suggest starting with a little kludge like this:
if time_provided?(self.natural_date)
self.time = Chronic.parse(self.natural_date)
self.date = self.time.to_date
or:
self.end_date = Chronic.parse(self.natural_date).to_date
if time_provided?(self.natural_date)
self.time = Chronic.parse(self.natural_date)
end
Or maybe the problem is outside the code you provided: in the part that is responsible for the "because it has no date, it will not show in results" behavior? Maybe you should make the conditions more flexible?
