To get today’s date I do:
Date.today # => Fri, 20 May 2011
I would like to get today’s date in a specific timezone, say 'Melbourne'.
I have the following setting in my application.rb:
config.time_zone = 'Melbourne'
and I set:
Time.zone = 'Melbourne'
in my application controller before each action.
However, it doesn’t help (I guess because these settings affects only dates that are stored in the database).
How could I get today’s date in 'Melbourne' ?
You should be able to do this:
Time.current. That would display the current time in Melbourne if that’s whatTime.zoneis set to.
