fast_business_time

FastBusinessTime

Time calculations based on business hours. Inspired by business_time but with significantly better performance.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'fast_business_time'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install fast_business_time

Usage

Initializiation

First initialize a calculator, a calculator needs a schedule and holidays:

schedule = {
  [:mon, :tue, :wed, :thu, :fri] => [[9 * 3600, 17 * 3600]]
}
holidays = [Date.new(2016, 1, 1), Date.new(2016, 12, 25)]
calculator = FastBusinessTime::Calculator.new(schedule: schedule, holidays: holidays)

schedule is a hash whose keys are an array of weekdays and the values are an array of time intervals in seconds since the beginning of the day. So if we have a business that works on Monday 9:00-13:00, 14:00-17:30 and Tue-Fri 9:00-17:00 we would set schedule to:

schedule = {
  [:mon] => [[9 * 3600, 13 * 3600], [14 * 3600, 17 * 3600 + 30 * 60]],
  [:tue, :wed, :thu, :fri] => [[9 * 3600, 17 * 3600]]]
}

holidays is an array of dates, you could probably use the holiday gem

It's recommended to memoize the calculators, so you could do:

class TimeCalculators
  def self.ny
	@ny ||= FastBusinessTime::Calculator.new(
	          schedule: [:mon, :tue, :wed, :thu, :fri] => [[9 * 3600, 17 * 3600]],
	          holidays: [Date.new(2016, 1, 1), Date.new(2016, 12, 25)]
	        )
  end

  def self.sf
  	@sf ||= FastBusinessTime::Calculator.new(
	          schedule: [:mon, :tue, :wed, :thu, :fri] => [[9 * 3600, 18 * 3600]],
	          holidays: [Date.new(2016, 1, 1), Date.new(2016, 12, 25)]
	        )
  end
end
