Months ago in ruby

Question

I can't figure out a way (using class definitions) to get months ago. Seconds, days, and minutes are all fine because they're always constants. However since months isn't always constant, i need to know a way for ruby to know how many days are in the current month.

Answer 1

If your application uses ActiveSupport (e.g. a Rails application), you can use

3.months.ago

to get the current date less 3 months.
