Years

Small gem for year related methods. Includes a method for calculating a person's age and another for helping create a year range (say for a Web site's copyright statement). Two methods exist for calculating the age for when the legal leapling birthday is 28 Feb (NZ) or 1 Mar (UK). Please check your country's rules.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'years'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install years

Usage

require 'years'

Years.age_where_leapling_legal_birthday_is_1_mar('22 Sep 1976'.to_date) # == 37 when the current date is 26 Jan 14
Years.range(2012) # == '2012–2014' when the current year is 2014
