ruby-duration
=============

Duration is an immutable type that represents some amount of time with accuracy in seconds.

A lot of the code and inspirations is borrowed from [duration](http://rubyforge.org/projects/duration)
lib, which is a **mutable** Duration type with lot more features.

Help Wanted!
============

If you use ruby-duration and want to take over the project, let me know.

Show me the code

### constructor

Duration.new(100) => #
Duration.new(:hours => 5, :minutes => 70) => #

### format

Duration.new(:weeks => 3, :days => 1).format("%w %~w and %d %~d") => "3 weeks and 1 day"
Duration.new(:weeks => 1, :days => 20).format("%w %~w and %d %~d") => "3 weeks and 6 days"

### [iso 8601](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations)

Duration.new(:weeks => 1, :days => 20).iso8601 => "P3W6DT0H0M0S"
Duration.new("P6DT5S") => #

### Mongoid support
The current version of this gem supports Mongoid >= [3.0.0](https://github.com/mongoid/mongoid).
For lower Mongoid versions try:
* < 3.0.0 tag [v2.1.4](https://github.com/peleteiro/ruby-duration/tree/v2.1.4)
* < 2.1.0 tag [v1.0.0](https://github.com/peleteiro/ruby-duration/tree/v1.0.0)

```
require 'duration/mongoid'

class MyModel
include Mongoid::Document
field :duration, type => Duration
end
```

### Dependencies
The current version of this gem runs only on Ruby Versions >= 1.9.3.
If you are running a older version of Ruby try:
* tag [v2.1.4](https://github.com/peleteiro/ruby-duration/tree/v2.1.4)

Note on Patches/Pull Requests
-----------------------------

* Fork the project.
* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a
future version unintentionally.
* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
(if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
