zodiac

zodiac is a simple gem for getting a zodiac sign from a given date of birth. It extends Time, Date and DateTime objects with a zodiac_sign method.

Installation

gem install zodiac

Usage

require 'zodiac'
Time.now.zodiac_sign                  # => "Aries"
require 'date'
Date.new(2011, 1, 1).zodiac_sign      # => "Capricorn"
DateTime.new(2011, 4, 30).zodiac_sign # => "Taurus"

#zodiac_sign returns values using I18n with “zodiac.#{sign}” path, so if you want your own translations, you can put them in your locale with keys like zodiac.aries, zodiac.taurus etc. See examples here

Roadmap

1. Rdoc coverage of everything

2. ActiveRecord macro:

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  zodiac_reader :dob                  # dob is a DateTime attribute containing person's date of birth
end
Person.first.zodiac_sign              # => "scorpio"
Person.find_by_zodiac_sign("gemini")  # => AR::Relation
