Returns a Duration instance matching the number of days provided.

2.days # => 2 days
Also aliased as: day
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb, line 45
def days
  ActiveSupport::Duration.days(self)
end

Returns the number of bytes equivalent to the gigabytes provided.

2.gigabytes # => 2_147_483_648
Also aliased as: gigabyte
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/bytes.rb, line 36
def gigabytes
  self * GIGABYTE
end

2.hours # => 2 hours
Also aliased as: hour
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb, line 37
def hours
  ActiveSupport::Duration.hours(self)
end
html_safe?()
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/string/output_safety.rb, line 130
def html_safe?
  true
end
in_milliseconds()

Returns the number of milliseconds equivalent to the seconds provided. Used with the standard time durations, like 1.hour.in_milliseconds – so we can feed them to JavaScript functions like getTime().

2.in_milliseconds # => 2_000
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb, line 71
def in_milliseconds
  self * 1000
end
kilobyte()
Alias for: kilobytes
kilobytes()

Returns the number of bytes equivalent to the kilobytes provided.

2.kilobytes # => 2048
Also aliased as: kilobyte
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/bytes.rb, line 20
def kilobytes
  self * KILOBYTE
end
megabyte()
Alias for: megabytes
megabytes()

Returns the number of bytes equivalent to the megabytes provided.

2.megabytes # => 2_097_152
Also aliased as: megabyte

second()
Alias for: seconds
seconds()

Enables the use of time calculations and declarations, like 45.minutes + 2.hours + 4.years.

# equivalent to Time.current.advance(months: 1)
1.month.from_now

# equivalent to Time.current.advance(years: 2)
2.years.from_now

# equivalent to Time.current.advance(months: 4, years: 5)
