# Season
[![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/season.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/rb/season) [![Code Climate](https://codeclimate.com/github/joaodiogocosta/season/badges/gpa.svg)](https://codeclimate.com/github/joaodiogocosta/season) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/joaodiogocosta/season.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/joaodiogocosta/season)

Season automatically creates scopes for ActiveRecord date, datetime and timestamp attributes.
How many times have you done ugly things like `where("users.created_at" > ?", some_date)`? If you ever built a REST API with endpoints that return a list of records, I'm sure you've done plenty of this. And that's why Season exists.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'season', '~> 0.3'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install season

## Requirements

In this first version Season only supports ActiveRecord, but we plan to also support Mongoid in a very short period of time.

## Usage

To use Season scopes just append `_before`, `_after` or `_between` to your date/datetime/timestamp column names and pass the arguments accordingly. See this:

First, include Season in your model(s):
```ruby
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
include Season
...
end
```

### Scopes

Now, considering that our `User` class has three datetime/date/timestamp columns named `:created_at`, `:updated_at` and `:confirmed_at`, the following scopes will be automatically available:
```ruby
# * Time/Date/DateTime/String instances are allowed as arguments.

User.created_at_before(Time.now)
User.created_at_after(DateTime.now)
User.created_at_between(Time.now - 1.week, '31-01-2015')
# => [ActiveRecord::Relation of Users]

User.updated_at_before(DateTime.now)
User.updated_at_after('01-01-2015')
User.updated_at_between(Time.now - 1.week, Time.now)
# => [ActiveRecord::Relation of Users]

User.confirmed_at_before('01-01-2015')
User.confirmed_at_after(DateTime.now)
User.confirmed_at_between(Time.now - 1.year, Time.now - 1.week)
# => [ActiveRecord::Relation of Users]
```

They are chainable, so you can also do things like this:
```ruby
User.where(id: [1, 2, 3]).created_at_before(Time.now)
User.updated_at_after('01-01-2015').order(created_at: :asc)
```

### Instance methods

Other than scopes, useful instance methos will also be available:
```ruby
joe = User.first

joe.created_at_before?(Time.now)
joe.updated_at_after?('10-10-2000')
joe.confirmed_at_between?('20-10-2013', DateTime.now)
# => true or false
```

## To Do
