Question

I need to update time info in a DateTime.

I get a string in the format “14” or “14:30” (for example), so I need to give it to Time parser to get the right hour. Then I need to update self.start_at which is a datetime which already has a time, but I need to update it.

self.start_at_hours = Time.parse(self.start_at_hours) # example 14:30:00
# NEED TO UPDATE self.start_at which is a datetime

I was using the change method on self.start_at but it only takes hour and minutes separated and I’m not sure what should I do.

Have you thought about doing somethings like this?

time_to_merge = Time.new
date_to_merge = Date.today
merged_datetime = DateTime.new(date_to_merge.year, date_to_merge.month,
                               date_to_merge.day, time_to_merge.hour,
                               time_to_merge.min, time_to_merge.sec)
