Provides help with managing dates and periods
gem install datebox
Include gem in Gemfile
gem 'datebox'
# or
gem 'datebox', :git => 'git@github.com:forward3d/datebox'
Allows using periods
period = Datebox::Period.new("2013-06-10", "2013-06-27")
period.from
period.to
Allows splitting periods (returns ending dates of periods)
Datebox::Period.split_dates(Date.parse("2013-06-14"), Date.parse("2013-06-27"), "week")
It's also possible to calculate periods relative to given dates
period_month = Datebox::Relative.last_month.to('2013-07-09') # uses period method
preiod_week = Datebox::Relative.last(:week).to('2013-07-09') # uses period symbol
It's best to have a look at code & tests
