Blackcal Build Status

Create blacklist rules for calendars with ease. Supports recurring rules for certain weekdays, date numbers, hour of day.

Born from the idea of comparing schedules using matrix operations. This gem makes it easy to see whether if a time is covered by a certain schedule and generate a matrix representing what the schedule covers (hour our minute resolution).

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'blackcal'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install blackcal

Usage

The main parts are Blackcal#schedule for generating a schedule, schedule#cover? to see whether a time is covered by schedule and finally schedule#to_matrix that generates a schedule with given time resolution (hour our minute).

Schedule Mondays and Tuesdays

schedule = Blackcal.schedule(weekdays: [:monday, :tuesday])
schedule.cover?('2019-01-01 19:00')
# => true
schedule.cover?('2019-01-02 19:00')
# => false

Schedule between 6pm and 7am every day

schedule = Blackcal.schedule(start_time_of_day: 18, finish_time_of_day: 7)
schedule.cover?('2019-01-01 19:00')
# => true
schedule.cover?('2019-01-01 11:00')
# => false

# minutes are supported too
eighteen_thirty = Blackcal::TimeOfDay.new(18, 30)
schedule = Blackcal.schedule(start_time_of_day: eighteen_thirty)

Schedule day 15 and 17 of month

schedule = Blackcal.schedule(days: [15, 17])
schedule.cover?('2019-01-15 19:00')
# => true
schedule.cover?('2019-01-01 11:00')
# => false

Schedule first and third week of every month

schedule = Blackcal.schedule(weeks_of_month: [1, 3])
schedule.cover?('2019-01-03 19:00')
# => true
schedule.cover?('2019-01-10 19:00')
# => false

Define when the schedule is active

Blackcal.schedule(start_time: '2018-01-01 11:00', finish_time: '2019-01-01 11:00')

All options at once - schedule January, 3rd week, Mondays and Tuesdays, day 15-25, between 18pm and 7am

schedule = Blackcal.schedule(
  months: [:january],
  weeks_of_month: [3],
  weekdays: [:monday, :tuesday],
  start_time_of_day: 18,
  finish_time_of_day: 7.30, # use floats to represent hour/min
  days: 15..25
)
schedule.cover?('2018-01-16 06:00')
# => true
schedule.cover?('2018-01-16 08:00')
# => false

Note: #cover? supports String and Time objects. start_time_of_day and finish_time_of_day supports Blackcal::TimeOfDay, Time and Integer objects.

Builder pattern

Blackcal.schedule do
  months [:january]
  weeks_of_month [3]
  weekdays [:monday, :tuesday]
  start_time_of_day 18
  finish_time_of_day 7
  days 15..25
end
# you can, though not recommended, mix arguments with the
# builder data from the builder will override the arguments
Blackcal.schedule(days: [14, 21]) do
  months [:january]
end

Matrix representation

schedule = Blackcal.schedule(weekdays: :friday, start_time_of_day: 0, finish_time_of_day: 14)
schedule.to_matrix(start_date: '2018-09-14', finish_date: '2018-09-16')
# => [[true, ...], [false, ...]]

# defaults to hour resolution, but you can get minute resolution too
schedule = Blackcal.schedule(weekdays: :friday, start_time_of_day: 0, finish_time_of_day: 14)
schedule.to_matrix(resolution: :min, start_date: '2018-09-14', finish_date: '2018-09-16')
# => [[true, ...], [false, ...]]

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
