Rails 5.1 has introduced Date#all_day helper

Sometimes, we want to query records over the whole day for a given date.

>> User.where(created_at: Date.today.beginning_of_day..Date.today.end_of_day)

=> SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE ("users"."created_at" BETWEEN $1 AND $2) [["created_at", 2017-04-09 00:00:00 UTC], ["created_at", 2017-04-09 23:59:59 UTC]]

Rails 5.1 has introduced a helper method for creating this range object for a given date in the form of Date#all_day.

>> User.where(created_at: Date.today.all_day)

=> SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE ("users"."created_at" BETWEEN $1 AND $2) [["created_at", 2017-04-09 00:00:00 UTC], ["created_at", 2017-04-09 23:59:59 UTC]]

We can confirm that the Date#all_day method returns the range object for a given date.

>> Date.today.all_day

=> Sun, 09 Apr 2017 00:00:00 UTC +00:00..Sun, 09 Apr 2017 23:59:59 UTC +00:00
