- What's this?
to_time(form = :local)
public
Converts a Date instance to a Time, where the time is set to the beginning of the day. The timezone can be either :local or :utc (default :local).
date = Date.new(2007, 11, 10) # => Sat, 10 Nov 2007 date.to_time # => 2007-11-10 00:00:00 0800 date.to_time(:local) # => 2007-11-10 00:00:00 0800 date.to_time(:utc) # => 2007-11-10 00:00:00 UTC
NOTE: The :local timezone is Ruby’s process timezone, i.e. ENV['TZ']. If the application’s timezone is needed, then use in_time_zone instead.
