I have a js timer and I need to save the time in format: hour minute second. Like you know Timer.new(hour, minute, sec)
(similar). How can i save an interval time in rails db? I just need to know how to save it, i know ho to handle ajax/controller stuff.
You have multiple options. You can create two timestamp columns within your database like this:
create_table "your_table", force: true do |t|
# ...
t.timestamp "started_at"
t.timestamp "ended_at"
end
Or you can create one timestamp and one integer column:
create_table "your_table", force: true do |t|
# ...
t.timestamp "started_at"
t.integer "elapsed_time"
end
Or you store only elapsed time:
create_table "your_table", force: true do |t|
# ...
t.integer "elapsed_time"
end
started_at
and ended_at
should be a timestamp
or datetime
, in my point of view. I would not only store time
, because it makes calculations much more easier. For instance when started_at
is today and ended_at
tomorrow.
Keep in mind that it is database dependent if Rails stores time values with a precision in seconds or microseconds.
