Hello,
for my Rails application I'm going to need a class that does timestamp computations, e.g. "give me a list of all 5-minute-blocks for a certain time range".
Example:
.set_start_time('2011-01-13 12:00:00') .set_end_time('2011-01-13 12:15:00') .get_time_blocks(5)
-> results in
['2011-01-13 12:00:00', 2011-01-13 12:05:00, 2011-01-13 12:10:00, 2011-01-13 12:15:00]
I'm having problems to decide what kind of class this should be in a Rails application? It really is just a helper and not part of the business logic, thus it could be a helper, but as far as I understand helpers are for controllers and views, and this class is going to be used by models. So, maybe it's a model?
I think it's a model, or simply a utility class that goes in lib.
Thanks in advance,

Best,
