Class TZInfo::TimezoneProxy
In: lib/tzinfo/timezone_proxy.rb
Parent: Timezone

A proxy class representing a timezone with a given identifier. TimezoneProxy inherits from Timezone and can be treated like any Timezone loaded with Timezone.get.

The first time an attempt is made to access the data for the timezone, the real Timezone is loaded. If the proxy‘s identifier was not valid, then an exception will be raised at this point.

Methods

_dump   _load   identifier   new   period_for_utc   periods_for_local  

Public Class methods

_load(data)

Loads a marshalled TimezoneProxy.

[Source]

# File lib/tzinfo/timezone_proxy.rb, line 69
    def self._load(data)
      TimezoneProxy.new(data)
    end
new(identifier)

Construct a new TimezoneProxy for the given identifier. The identifier is not checked when constructing the proxy. It will be validated on the when the real Timezone is loaded.

# File lib/tzinfo/timezone_proxy.rb, line 36
    def self.new(identifier)
      # Need to override new to undo the behaviour introduced in Timezone#new.
      tzp = super()
      tzp.send(:setup, identifier)
      tzp
    end

Public Instance methods

_dump(limit)

Dumps this TimezoneProxy for marshalling.

# File lib/tzinfo/timezone_proxy.rb, line 64
    def _dump(limit)
      identifier
    end
identifier()

The identifier of the timezone, e.g. "Europe/Paris".

# File lib/tzinfo/timezone_proxy.rb, line 44
    def identifier
      @real_timezone ? @real_timezone.identifier : @identifier
    end
period_for_utc(utc)

Returns the TimezonePeriod for the given UTC time. utc can either be a DateTime, Time or integer timestamp (Time.to_i). Any timezone information in utc is ignored (it is treated as a UTC time).

[Source]

# File lib/tzinfo/timezone_proxy.rb, line 51
    def period_for_utc(utc)            
      real_timezone.period_for_utc(utc)            
    end
periods_for_local(local)

Returns the set of TimezonePeriod instances that are valid for the given local time as an array. If you just want a single period, use period_for_local instead and specify how abiguities should be resolved. Returns an empty array if no periods are found for the given time.

# File lib/tzinfo/timezone_proxy.rb, line 59
    def periods_for_local(local)
      real_timezone.periods_for_local(local)
    end
