Small library that helps you parse a string and get information about time patterns in it.

It parses next patterns:

• Meeting at 11:00
• Meeting at 11am
• Party at 11:45pm
• Meet Bob at 11:00 for 30m to discuss the project
• Meet James at 11:00 for 1h
• Watch Adventure Time from 11:00 to 11pm to stay CRAZY

it supports modifiers for minutes and hours like:

• m, min, mins, minutes
• h, hour, hours

it recognizes time patterns ({time}) as:

• 11:00
• 11am/pm
• 3:45pm

and uses those patterns to recognize intervals like:

• at {time} for {interval}
• from {time} to {time}

where {interval} can be "30 minutes" or "1 hour" or "1 hour 34min.

require "todo_time_patterns"

input = "meet Bob at 4pm for 2 hours 30min"
p TodoTimePatterns.parse input

#prints {:hours=>16, :minutes=>0, :interval=>150, :result_string=>"meet Bob"} on screen

#-------

input = "meet Bob at 16:34"
p TodoTimePatterns.parse input

#prints {:hours=>16, :minutes=>34, :interval=>0, :result_string=>"meet Bob"}

gem install 'todo_time_patterns'
