Ruby Rails Time zone rush hour
The last developer is using time in our app like this.
:timestamp_requested => Time.now.utc
I want to check if :timestamp_requested is between 4:15PM and 6:00PM CST.
:timestamp_requested
4:15PM
6:00PM
I saw another post that uses in_time_zone but not sure how to check for between two times?
in_time_zone
t = foo.start_time
#⇒ 2000-01-01 14:20:00 UTC
t.zone
#⇒ "UTC"
t.in_time_zone("America/Chicago")
#⇒ Sat, 01 Jan 2000 09:20:00 EST -05:00
in_time_zone("Central Time (US & Canada)")
see list of all time zones with

The easiest way to check the time is in the specific range would be to compare hours and minutes:
cst = time.in_time_zone("America/Guatemala") # CST whole year
(16..18).cover?(cst.hour) && cst.min >= 15
Love this code. Thank you! Works like a charm and is precise.

You might want to try the use_zone method
use_zone
Time.use_zone("America/Chicago") { (16..18).cover?(time.hour) && time.min >= 15 }
How does it answer the original question?

Your logic can be passed into it, just an alternative
