Question

t = Time.now
d = 10.minutes.from_now

Using these two variables, how do I output a timer like 00:10:00?

As d counts down, the timer would show 00:09:59, 00:09:58, etc.

Note: I’d formatting uses Rails datetime format method somehow.

This ended up working best for me:

def timer(end_time)
  Time.zone.at(end_time-Time.now).strftime("%R:%S")
end
