Is it possible to create a list of months between two dates in Rails

Question

I am trying to create a page to display a list of links for each month, grouped into years. The months need to be between two dates, Today, and The date of the first entry.<

Answer 1

Use the date_helper gem which adds the months_between method to the Date class similar to Steve's answer.

xmas = Date.parse("2013-12-25")
hksar_establishment_day = Date.parse("2014-07-01")

Date.months_between(xmas,hksar_establishment_day)
 => [Sun, 01 Dec 2013, Wed, 01 Jan 2014, Sat, 01 Feb 2014, Sat, 01 Mar 2014, Tue, 01 Apr 2014, Thu, 01 May 2014, Sun, 01 Jun 2014, Tue, 01 Jul 2014]
