= Ruby Holidays Gem
|
|
|
|
A set of classes to deal with holidays in Ruby.
|
|
|
|
Extends Ruby's built-in Date class and supports custom holiday definition lists.
|
|
|
|
=== Examples
|
|
|
|
==== Using the Holidays class
|
|
# Get all holidays on April 25, 2008 in Australia
|
|
date = Date.civil(2008,4,25)
|
|
Holidays.by_day(date, :au)
|
|
=> [{:name => 'ANZAC Day',...}]
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Get all holidays in July, 2008 in Canada and the US
|
|
from = Date.civil(2008,7,1)
|
|
to = Date.civil(2008,7,31)
|
|
Holidays.between(from, to, :ca,:us)
|
|
=> [{:name => 'Canada Day',...}
|
|
{:name => 'Independence Day',...}]
|
|
|
|
|
|
==== Extending Ruby's Date class
|
|
# Lookup Canada Day in the :ca region
|
|
Date.civil(2008,7,1).holiday?(:ca)
|
|
=> true
|
|
|
|
# Lookup Canada Day in the :fr region
|
|
Date.civil(2008,7,1).holiday?(:fr)
|
|
=> false
|
|
|
|
