Question

I’m having problem with the date format of rails. It seems to me that the default Date Format is dd/mm/yyyy. How am I gonna change it to something like mm/dd/yyyy?

I read somewhere that ActiveSupport gem can handle this but I don’t how it works.

Put following line in your enviroment.rb

Date::DATE_FORMATS.merge!(:default => "%m/%d/%Y")

and try

 Time.now.to_date.to_s

On you rails console
