I want to get only the time from Time type data ...! [Strftime] * Additional notes

Introduction / Situation when a problem occurs

Development environment

Ruby 2.6.5 Rails 6.0.3.4 MySQL Visual Studio Code (GoogleChrome)

I'm creating something like a calendar app. I want to save the date and start / end time separately in the DB, so I created a form using time_select in the time type column for the time.

new.html.erb(Excerpt only for time form)


<div class="start-date-input">
  <div class="form-title">
Start time
    <span class="indispensable">Mandatory</span>
  </div>
  <div class='input-date-wrap'>
    <%= f.time_select(:start_time, {class:'select-date', id:"start-time", prompt:'--', time_separator: ':'}, ignore_data: true) %>
  </div>
</div>
<div class="start-date-input">
  <div class="form-title">
ending time
    <span class="indispensable">Mandatory</span>
  </div>
  <div class='input-date-wrap'>
    <%= f.time_select(:start_time, {class:'select-date', id:"start-time", prompt:'--', time_separator: ':'}, ignore_data: true) %>
  </div>
</div>
form

If you enter the date and time in the form as above and submit the data as a trial,

db

It seems that the date and time and each time are safely saved in the DB. Then when I try to display it in the view ...

show.html.erb


<div class="event-show-info-left">
  <p><%= @event.day %></p>
  <p><strong><%= @event.start_time %></strong></p>
  <p><strong>↓</strong></p>
  <p><strong><%= @event.finish_time %></strong></p>
</div>
before

!!!?!!!?

The mysterious year and month are also displayed for each time ... Who the hell is this 20th century child ...

Consideration and verification of the cause

Once, I checked the params of the transmitted data.

[1] pry(#<EventsController>)> params
=> <ActionController::Parameters {
(abridgement)

 "day(1i)"=>"2020", "day(2i)"=>"12", "day(3i)"=>"2", 
"start_time(1i)"=>"1", "start_time(2i)"=>"1", "start_time(3i)"=>"1", "start_time(4i)"=>"10", "start_time(5i)"=>"00", 
"finish_time(1i)"=>"1", "finish_time(2i)"=>"1", "finish_time(3i)"=>"1", "finish_time(4i)"=>"13", "finish_time(5i)"=>"30", 

(abridgement)
} permitted: false>

(1i)… year (2i)… Moon (3i)… Sun (4i)… time (5i)… minutes As you can see, the date is given along with each time.

Since it saves time, it is set to time type, so it will not be reflected in the DB, As a specification of time_select, it can be considered that it is handled with" 1 "added to the date. This "1" is fetched into the view as it is, which seems to be the cause of the example 2000-01-01.

** Then, how do you get only the time ...? ~ **

I would like to devise something on the view side. I checked ...

[Official] Ruby 2.7.0 Reference Manual instance method Time # strftime

strftime(format) -> String Returns the result of converting the time to a string according to the format string.

With reference to the above, strftime seems to play an active role! Use strftime for the start time / end time class and format it into a string.

result

Since we only get the time, we use the following format.

--% H: 24-hour clock (00-23) --% M: Minutes (00-59)

I added .strftime ("% H:% M ") to the view file.

show.html.erb(Fix)


<div class="event-show-info-left">
  <p><%= @event.day %></p>
  <p><strong><%= @event.start_time.strftime( "%H:%M" ) %></strong></p>
  <p><strong>↓</strong></p>
  <p><strong><%= @event.finish_time.strftime( "%H:%M" ) %></strong></p>
</div>
after

Only the time could be displayed !!

At the end / impression

strftime and time_select were a great combination!

Regarding the handling of time, when it comes to large-scale implementation in the future I also felt that special consideration such as time zone and leap year would be required. I would like to take this opportunity to deepen my understanding of Time class classes.

This is a poor article for beginners, but I hope it will be of some help to you. Thank you for reading to the end.

Postscript

11/11 21:40 Regarding the date and time format, from the aspect of DRY, I was instructed that it is better to correspond with the time zone and locale setting and the l method. Please refer to the article below.

[For beginners, with video] Use the l method rather than strftime when formatting the date and time in Rails

Thank you @jnchito!
