DateHelper

Adds some useful methods to the Date class.

Class method months_between returns an array of Date objects for the first day of each month, inclusive of the starting and ending months.

Instance method to_utc_time converts a given Date instance to a Time object at 00:00:00 UTC on the given Date

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'date_helper'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install date_helper

xmas = Date.parse("2013-12-25")
hksar_establishment_day = Date.parse("2014-07-01")

Date.months_between(xmas,hksar_establishment_day)
 => [Sun, 01 Dec 2013, Wed, 01 Jan 2014, Sat, 01 Feb 2014, Sat, 01 Mar 2014, Tue, 01 Apr 2014, Thu, 01 May 2014, Sun, 01 Jun 2014, Tue, 01 Jul 2014]

Date.parse("2014-04-27").to_utc_time
 => 2014-04-27 00:00:00 UTC
