Date and time formats for pirates

April 27, 2012 Tagged: ruby on rails i18n time time format Comments (View) Date and time formats for pirates Need to display a date in your Rails app? First try: Time.now.strftime "arrrround %H'ish" To remove duplication, you imagine a a time format initializer . Second try: Time.now.to_s :pirate Then you remember the :default localized key. Third time’s a charm: l Time.now It formats based on the config/locales/pirate.yml file: pirate: time: formats: default: "arrrround %H'ish" date: formats: default: "arrrround %H'ish" Dates work, too: l Date.today The same system lets you alter the display of “days ago” and “minute from now.”
