How to judge whether a time/date is today, in ruby?

Question

I have a settlement, I want to judge if the return_service_date is today, how to do this?

This is my code (rails):

if settlement.return_service_date && 
   settlement.return_service_date.to_s(:date) == Time.now.to_s(:date)

Is there a better way to do this?

Answer 1

In Rails, you can do:

settlement.return_service_date.today?
