Edit Question
Title
Body
I'm creating a Rails app that will store the opening and closing hours for a business. Originally, I thought of simply using a text data type and letting it be free-form: "Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm Saturday 11am to 4pm Closed Sundays" But, requirements have changed and I need to check the hours against the current date & time and display an "Open" or "Closed" in the view. Something like: class Business < ActiveRecord::Base def open? # Something like ... Time.now > open_time && Time.now < close_time end end So what would be the best way to tackle this in terms of storing the hours for each day of the week? Should the Business simply has_many :open_blocks (or whatever) that have open and close times? Should I just store the day as a string?
