Check if DateTime value is today, tomorrow or later

Question

I have an object attribute of the DateTime class.

How would I understand if the saved date is today, tomorrow or else later?

Answer 1

Here are some useful ways to achieve it:

datetime = DateTime.now  => Sun, 26 Oct 2014 21:00:00  datetime.today? # => true datetime.to_date.past? # => false (only based on date) datetime.to_date.future? # => false  (only based on date)  datetime.to_date == Date.tomorrow # => false datetime.to_date == Date.yesterday # => false
