💎Rails tip💎 Did you know that since Rails 6.1, you can easily add a column of type interval if you use Postgres? This can be convenient if you have for example a model for recurring events with a specific duration like 5 days. #ruby #rails #rubyonrails

@websebdev It’s an awesome feature as in typical Rails fashion it abstracts the overhead for the supported ISO8601 standard into Rails developer happiness.

@websebdev Why aren’t we using this?! 🤔

@websebdev I had no idea about interval types. Thanks for sharing!

@websebdev I am not sure I understand what the interval is supposed to do :/ do you have an example?

@websebdev @ivanwolfo

@websebdev Some useful helper methods could be something like expired? or completed? maybe… 🤔

@websebdev Hmmm 🤔

@websebdev What could be the main difference and improvement to use when comparing to having two datetimes, start and end, or only have start datetime and interval duration?

@websebdev Cool.

@websebdev Does it support querying that range in any fashion, inside a .where?
