how can I make sure a day is a weekday in Rails?

Question

I have a message substitution called next_week which basically takes Date.today + 7.days.

However, although I still want to send emails on weekends, if the next_week falls on a weekend, I want it to know this and push to the Monday.

How do i do this?

Answer 1

Rails 5:

date.on_weekend?
date.on_weekday?

Rails 4:

date.saturday? || date.sunday?
