Read my time

https://rubygems.org/gems/read_my_time

Humanize your times in your locale language. It is plain Ruby, you don't need Rails or Sinatra, but it works great with them.

This gem helps you to transform your seconds (a numeric value) into a readable string for humans.

Installation

Just install the gem

gem install read_my_time

or add gem 'read_my_time' to your Gemfile and run bundle install

Usage

> 100.seconds_in_words
 => "1 minute 40 seconds"
> 10000.seconds_in_words
 => "2 hours 46 minutes 40 seconds"
> 100000.seconds_in_words
 => "1 day 3 hours 46 minutes 40 seconds"
> 100000.seconds_in_words(skip_seconds: true)
 => "1 day 3 hours 46 minutes"

Use spanish locale

> I18n.locale = :es
 => :es
> 100.seconds_in_words
 => "1 minuto 40 segundos"

By default it avoids to show empty values like 0 minutes.
