Convert Date and time to utc in rails
# Assuming you have a DateTime object in a variable called 'local_time'
local_time = DateTime.now
# Convert the DateTime object to UTC
utc_time = local_time.utc
Explanation:
1. DateTime.now
creates a DateTime object representing the current date and time in the local time zone.
2. local_time.utc
converts the local DateTime object (local_time
) to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The utc
method is used to convert the time to UTC format, ensuring it's in the standardized global time zone.
