在Ruby on Rails中将DateTime转换为简单的Date

我在db中有一个datetime列，当我向用户展示它时，我想将其转换为一个简单的日期。

我怎样才能做到这一点？

def shown_date
  ＃to_date不存在，但是我正在寻找
  self.date || self.exif_date_time_original.to_date
结束

DateTime#to_date ActiveSupport确实存在：

$ irb
>> DateTime.new.to_date
NoMethodError: undefined method 'to_date' for #<DateTime: -1/2,0,2299161>
    from (irb):1

>> require 'active_support/core_ext'
=> true

>> DateTime.new.to_date
=> Mon, 01 Jan -4712

您好collimarco :)您可以使用ruby strftime方法创建您自己的日期/时间显示。

time.strftime（string）=>字符串

  %a - The abbreviated weekday name (``Sun'')
  %A - The  full  weekday  name (``Sunday'')
  %b - The abbreviated month name (``Jan'')
  %B - The  full  month  name (``January'')
  %c - The preferred local date and time representation
  %d - Day of the month (01..31)
  %H - Hour of the day, 24-hour clock (00..23)
  %I - Hour of the day, 12-hour clock (01..12)
  %j - Day of the year (001..366)
  %m - Month of the year (01..12)
  %M - Minute of the hour (00..59)
  %p - Meridian indicator (``AM''  or  ``PM'')
  %S - Second of the minute (00..60)
  %U - Week  number  of the current year,
          starting with the first Sunday as the first
          day of the first week (00..53)
  %W - Week  number  of the current year,
          starting with the first Monday as the first
          day of the first week (00..53)
  %w - Day of the week (Sunday is 0, 0..6)
  %x - Preferred representation for the date alone, no time
  %X - Preferred representation for the time alone, no date
  %y - Year without a century (00..99)
  %Y - Year with century
  %Z - Time zone name
  %% - Literal ``%'' character

   t = Time.now
   t.strftime("Printed on %m/%d/%Y")   #=> "Printed on 04/09/2003"
   t.strftime("at %I:%M%p")            #=> "at 08:56AM"

在Ruby 1.9.2及更高版本中，他们向DateTime添加了.to_date函数：

http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.2/libdoc/date/rdoc/DateTime.html#method-i-to_date

在1.8.7的早期版本中似乎没有此实例方法。

对于旧的Ruby（1.8.x）：

myDate = Date.parse(myDateTime.to_s)

我最近写了一个gem来简化此过程，并整理您的意见等。

在以下位置进行检查：http : //github.com/platform45/easy_dates

请先尝试将条目转换为字符串。只要数据库列类型是日期，它将被格式化为日期。

self.date || self.exif_date_time_original.to_s
