Command syntax

time.during(start_time, end_time[, :left_bound => "closed", :right_bound => "open"]) → bool

Description

Return whether a time is between two other times.

By default, this is inclusive of the start time and exclusive of the end time. Set left_bound and right_bound to explicitly include (closed) or exclude (open) that endpoint of the range.

Example: Retrieve all the posts that were posted between December 1st, 2013 (inclusive) and December 10th, 2013 (exclusive).

r.table("posts").filter{ |post|
    post['date'].during(r.time(2013, 12, 1, "Z"), r.time(2013, 12, 10, "Z"))
}.run(conn)
