ActiveSupport::Duration.parse('P3Y') == 3.years # It should be true
Duration parsing made independent from any moment of time:
Fixed length in seconds is assigned to each duration part during parsing.
Changed duration of months and years in seconds to more accurate and logical:
1. The value of 365.2425 days in Gregorian year is more accurate
as it accounts for every 400th non-leap year.
2. Month's length is bound to year's duration, which makes
sensible comparisons like `12.months == 1.year` to be `true`
and nonsensical ones like `30.days == 1.month` to be `false`.
Calculations on times and dates with durations shouldn't be affected as
duration's numeric value isn't used in calculations, only parts are used.
Methods on `Numeric` like `2.days` now use these predefined durations
to avoid duplicating of duration constants through the codebase and
eliminate creation of intermediate durations.

Welcome to Rails
Rails is a web-application framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.
Understanding the MVC pattern is key to understanding Rails. MVC divides your application into three layers, each with a specific responsibility.
The Model layer represents your domain model (such as Account, Product,
Person, Post, etc.) and encapsulates the business logic that is specific to
your application. In Rails, database-backed model classes are derived from
ActiveRecord::Base. Active Record allows you to present the data from
database rows as objects and embellish these data objects with business logic
methods. You can read more about Active Record in its README.
Although most Rails models are backed by a database, models can also be ordinary
Ruby classes, or Ruby classes that implement a set of interfaces as provided by
the Active Model module. You can read more about Active Model in its README.
The Controller layer is responsible for handling incoming HTTP requests and
providing a suitable response. Usually this means returning HTML, but Rails controllers
can also generate XML, JSON, PDFs, mobile-specific views, and more. Controllers load and
manipulate models, and render view templates in order to generate the appropriate HTTP response.
In Rails, incoming requests are routed by Action Dispatch to an appropriate controller, and
controller classes are derived from ActionController::Base. Action Dispatch and Action Controller
are bundled together in Action Pack. You can read more about Action Pack in its
README.
The View layer is composed of "templates" that are responsible for providing appropriate representations of your application's resources. Templates can come in a variety of formats, but most view templates are HTML with embedded Ruby code (ERB files). Views are typically rendered to generate a controller response, or to generate the body of an email. In Rails, View generation is handled by Action View. You can read more about Action View in its README.
Active Record, Active Model, Action Pack, and Action View can each be used independently outside Rails. In addition to that, Rails also comes with Action Mailer (README), a library to generate and send emails; Active Job (README), a framework for declaring jobs and making them run on a variety of queueing backends; Action Cable (README), a framework to integrate WebSockets with a Rails application; and Active Support (README), a collection of utility classes and standard library extensions that are useful for Rails, and may also be used independently outside Rails.
Getting Started
-
Install Rails at the command prompt if you haven't yet:
$ gem install rails -
At the command prompt, create a new Rails application:
$ rails new myappwhere "myapp" is the application name.
-
Change directory to
myappand start the web server:$ cd myapp $ rails serverRun with
--helpor-hfor options. -
Using a browser, go to
http://localhost:3000and you'll see: "Yay! You’re on Rails!" -
Follow the guidelines to start developing your application. You may find the following resources handy:
