theampm

With theampm, write Time like this in Ruby:

1.am
=> 2013-10-08 01:00:00 -0500

130.am
=> 2013-10-08 01:30:00 -0500

4.pm
=> 2013-10-08 16:00:00 -0500

925.pm
=> 2013-10-08 21:25:00 -0500

# There's also a to_time method
1515.to_time
=> 2013-10-08 15:15:00 -0500

This code is so simple I debated even creating a gem for it, but I find myself using it repeatedly for new projects, and now again for Draft, an app to help people write better.

Installation #

1. Add gem 'theampm' to your Gemfile.
