Gem for Recurring schedule with durations


I am working on building an Asset Tracker. In my application I have 'Assets' which user checks out for a period say Wed 8a.m to Friday 8 a.m. Now I want this to be made recurring as well. So a recurring reservation every week from Wed 8 to Friday 8 for the the say 5 coming weeks should be made feasible.I will later have queries where I would want to check if the reservation has a collision with another such recurring reservation or a non-recurring reservation.

I found ice_cube quite awesome for recurring events but there is no concept of a duration. What is the cleanest way to deal with durations? And ofcourse I am not talking of a final end duration but a recurring duration.


Solution

  • 'ice_cube' allows you to specify a :duration parameter in seconds in the initialize method for a schedule to have a recurring duration.

    I missed out on it earlier. This should solves the problem.
