Wobbly is a Ruby library that parses a given time-based token string to calculate a date in the future. It's lightweight and intuitive, perfect for adding flexible time calculations to your Ruby projects.

Ruby 2.0.0 or higher is recommended.

Install the gem with:

gem install wobbly

require 'wobbly'

Wobbly.in('1h2m') # => 2017-11-27 19:58:44 +0200

Wobbly supports the following tokens, which can be combined in any order:

• s - seconds
• m - minutes
• h - hours
• D - days
• W - weeks
• M - months (approximated as 30 days)
• Y - years (approximated as 365 days)

Here are some usage examples demonstrating how Wobbly interprets different token strings:

Wobbly.in('1h2m8s')    # Adds 1 hour, 2 minutes, and 8 seconds to the current time
Wobbly.in('5Y')        # Adds 5 years to the current time
Wobbly.in('3Y8m')      # Adds 3 years and 8 minutes to the current time
Wobbly.in('3Y8M2W1D')  # Adds 3 years, 8 months, 2 weeks, and 1 day to the current time

To test Wobbly, run the following command:

rake test
