Check if time is between two times ruby

Question

I'm looking to check if the DateTime.now is between 2 particular date and times on Ruby on Rails.

I can't seem to figure it out

 def closed?
  (DateTime.now > DateTime.new(2018, 6, 28, 13, 00, 00)) && (DateTime.now < DateTime.new(2018, 6, 28, 14, 00, 00))
 end

Answer 1

I would use the between?(min, max) function from ActiveSupport:

def closed?
  DateTime.now.between?(DateTime.new(2018, 6, 28, 13, 00, 00), DateTime.new(2018, 6, 28, 14, 00, 00))
end

Answer 2

You can use cover? method for that

now = DateTime.now
start = DateTime.new(2018, 6, 28, 13, 00, 00)
stop =  DateTime.new(2018, 6, 28, 14, 00, 00)
p (start..stop).cover? now

Hope it will help you :)
