Question

I have a table shows with a time column called start_time. In the view, when I do:

<%= show.start_time %>

I get

2000-01-01 21:00:00 UTC

The 21:00 is stored properly in the database as time only. How can I display the time only in the view minus the date?

Answer 1

One way would be

show.start_time.to_s(:time)

or using any of the options listed at http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/Time.html#method-i-strftime you can do stuff like:

show.start_time.to_s("%H:%M %P")
