How are your algorithms working??
You can use my code (with the correction in my last post), and omit
the each_slice part (you do want one big array right?).
To explain what I was doing in a different way, I build three arrays
with the correct number of days in each, centered around the current
month (that’s why I add -1, 0, and 1 to the current month number). I
use (didn’t with the first code, sorry) the first day of the current
month as the offset. I build ranges after I get the month numbers,
then build arrays off those ranges. So I have a single array of three
arrays. When I #pop off the first array and #unshift onto the
second array, it moves the last day number of the previous month array
onto the first day of the current month array; sort of what you are
doing by hand. I do this offset number of times using the #times
method. Then I flatten (the weird current month array rolled into the
next month array – the use of the 1…2 range). I used each_slice for
display, but, obviously, you won’t have to do that, because you have
#groups_of. Just flatten and slice.
In any case, google calendar uses a 7 x 7 grid. I would recommend at
least a 7 x 6 grid for reasons I pointed out earlier. When you
display March, for example, you will only go up to 29 with 7 x 5.
Here’s the script code without the previous comments, and
surreptitiously using a 7 x 6 grid (I still would code this
differently by separating out into methods, and also probably a Month
and/or Calendar class)…
today = Date.today #use whatever date you want
offset = Date.new(today.year, today.month, 1).wday
^^^^^^ that was the line I screwed up at first
months_of_concern = (-1…1).inject([]) {|a, i| a << (today.month + i)}
month_ranges = months_of_concern.map {|month| 1…Date.new( today.year,
month, -1 ).day}
day_sets = month_ranges.map {|i| i.map}
offset.times {day_sets[1].unshift day_sets[0].pop}
p day_sets[1…2].flatten.slice(0…42)
