App uses SOAP4r for consuming API/SOAP
But SOAP::SOAPTimeFormat is returning
2015-11-15T16:59:521468.7999999999999545-04:00
chkout.add('purchasedDt ', SOAP::SOAPDateTime.new(basket.purchase_Date))
Using strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S') is giving the following
chkout.add('purchasedDt ', SOAP::SOAPDateTime.new(basket.purchase_Date.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S')))
2015-11-15T16:59:52Z
What App needs is
2015-11-15 16:59:52 -0400
Please advise ...need the format in
yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss-/+gmt

A simple change in your strftime and you can find out more in the doc for Time#strftime
basket.purchase_Date.now.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M %z')
=> "2016-04-26 22:48 -0400"
Seems like your applicaton accepts the iso8601 format. You can use Time#xmlschema as a shortcut to generate iso8601 compatible strings:
basket.purchase_Date.xmlschema
#=> "2015-11-15T16:59:52-04:00"
Just change this line in your example:
chkout.add('purchasedDt ', SOAP::SOAPDateTime.new(basket.purchase_Date.xmlschema))
I have been using local_time to convert servertime to client local time. However now I am using datatables and to sort date/time columns. I have to use date-moment.js plugin of Datatables which uses moment.js to handle date conversions.
My problem is: the local_time's view helper is wrapping the date with < time > tag like this
<time data-format="%B %e, %Y %l:%M%P"
data-local="time"
datetime="2013-11-27T23:43:22Z"
title="November 27, 2013 6:43pm EDT"
data-localized="true">November 27, 2013 6:43pm</time>
The wrapping thing is creating problem for moment.js to get the actual date-time as it expects. I need it to convert the date-time but not wrap with <time> tag. Is it possible. If yes How?
currently created a helper method to extract the core date from the string returned by the gem's local_date method
in views/
<%= extract_date(local_date(workflow.created_at, CommonConstants::DATE_FORMAT_LONG)) %>
# Parse the string generated by local_time gem
# Expectation :
# "<time data-format=\"%B %e, %Y\" data-local=\"time\" datetime=\"2015-10-28T11:19:54Z\">October 28, 2015</time>"
def extract_date(date_string)
date_string.split('>').pop.split('</')[0] rescue ''
end
Flot documentation says that it is based on javascript timestamp.
I have tried to convert my JSON to comply this standard, and my JSON looks like this

And i setup flot options like this
xaxis: {tickSize: 1,mode: "time", timeformat: "%H:%M:%S"}
The chart never up :(
Well actually the goal is simple, I just want to show a flot chart with 08:02:30 08:02:31 as the xaxis info. Thanks for any help.
Your problem is that you're passing in your dates as strings.
> new Date("1382061194000")
Invalid Date
> new Date(1382061194000)

Try removing the quotes (around your data points too) and see what that does.
I have a date (Which is actually parsed from a PDF) and it could be any of the following format:
MM/DD/YYYY
MM/DD/YY
M/D/YY
October 15, 2007
Oct 15, 2007
Is there any gem or function available in rails or ruby to parse my date?
Or I need to parse it using regex?
BTW I'm using ruby on rails 3.2.
You can try Date.parse(date_string).
You might also use Date#strptime if you need a specific format:
> Date.strptime("10/15/2013", "%m/%d/%Y")
=> Tue, 15 Oct 2013
For a general solution:
format_str = "%m/%d/" + (date_str =~ /\d{4}/ ? "%Y" : "%y")
date = Date.parse(date_str) rescue Date.strptime(date_str, format_str)
I find the chronic gem very easy to use for time parsing and it should work for you. i tried the examples you gave.
https://github.com/mojombo/chronic
saving a string to my db as a date and having some strange results
if the date is formatted like,
dd/mm/yy it will save
if date is formatted like,
mm/dd/yy it will fail to save silently
in my console if i go
'20/10/2012'.to_date
=> Sat, 20 Oct 2012
it works
if i go
'10/20/2012'.to_date
=> ArgumentError: invalid date ...
it breaks
i used an initializer to set up my default date format to %m/%d/%Y which you can see is accurately reflected in my DATE_FORMATS hash.
Date::DATE_FORMATS
=> {:short=>"%e %b", :long=>"%B %e, %Y", :db=>"%Y-%m-%d", :number=>"%Y%m%d", :long_ordinal=>#<Proc:0x007f8663f1aae0#/Users/ian/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p0#rails-3.2/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/core_ext/date/conversions.rb:12 (lambda)>, :rfc822=>"%e %b %Y", :default=>"%m/%d/%Y"}
Uncertain what is the cause of the issue here, as things seem to be configured correctly. How to resolve?
thank you!
Try:
DateTime.strptime('20/10/2012', '%d/%m/%Y')
Or just use Date if you don't need an associated time:
Date.strptime('20/10/2012', '%d/%m/%Y')
Use gem american_date
In gem file
gem 'american_date'
Now it will save mm/dd/yyyy date format.
