I had this same problem.
Try something like this:
Create a file in config/initializers called 'time.rb'
In there put something like this:
class Time
def Time.last_monday
today = Time.now
case
when today.wday == 1
days_since_monday = 7
when today.wday > 1
days_since_monday = today.wday - 1
when today.wday == 0
days_since_monday = 6
end
today - days_since_monday.day
end
end
Now, once you restart your app, from anywhere you can call Time.last_monday
and get a time object with the right date.
Then you can do:
Time.last_monday + 1.day #=> Tue
Time.last_monday + 2.days #=> Wed
Time.last_monday + 3.days #=> Thu
Time.last_monday + 4.days #=> Fri
Time.last_monday + 5.days #=> Sat
Time.last_monday + 6.days #=> Sun
I'll leave modifying the class to you to make Time.last_sunday
The way I figured this out was looking in the Rails source code in
ActiveSupport's time extensions
