Gem which calculates how many years, months and days are there between two dates

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'date_diff'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install date_diff

require 'date_diff'
components = Date.diff(start_date, end_date)

This will return the hash of date difference in terms of years, months, days.

You can use the difference like:

components[:year], components[:month], components[:day], components[:difference]

> Date.diff(Date.parse('2000-01-01'), Date.parse('2013-06-19'))
=> {:year => 13, :month => 5, :day => 18, :difference => "13 years 5 months 18 days"}
