Question

In my Rails application I have a User model ,Department model, Group model and a Register model.User model has basic user information,

User Model:

id , name
has_and_belongs_to_many :departments , :groups

Department Model:

id,name
has_and_belongs_to_many :users
has_many :registers

Group Model:

id,name
has_and_belongs_to_many :users
has_many :registers

Register Model:

date ,department_id , group_id , one , two , three
belongs_to :department ,:group

Among the Register Model “one” , “two” , “three” are time slots say: 9-12 , 12-3 , 3-6.Every day each user has to mark attendance so that their attendance has to mark against the time slot in Register table. How to mark attendance based on current time with the time slot.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You may need to do

current_time = Time.now
if (9..11).include?(current_time.hour)
# Do A
elsif (12..14).include?(current_time.hour)
# Do B
elsif (15..18).include?(current_time.hour)
# Do C
end

(or)

current_time = Time.now
if (9...12).include?(current_time.hour)
# Do A
elsif (12...15).include?(current_time.hour)
# Do B
elsif (15...18).include?(current_time.hour)
# Do C
end
# I think of the extra "." as 'eating' the last value so you don't have it.
