TimeWithZoneTypecaster

[cgriego]

Time zone support is opt-in with ActiveRecord using time_zone_aware_attributes. TimeTypecaster will skip time zone conversion, TimeWithZoneTypecaster will not. Conversion in ActiveRecord uses the current Time.zone.

Initial assessment was wrong. time_zone_aware_attributes is false by default in the class but enabled by default in the Railtie. The default_timezone option in ActiveRecord only accepts :utc and :local as the possible values.

Possible implementation:

class TimeWithZoneTypecaster
  def call(value)
    if value.respond_to? :in_time_zone
      value.in_time_zone
    elsif value.respond_to? :to_s
      Time.zone.parse(value)
    end
  end
end
