The ability to specify work days? :) about biz HOT 6 CLOSED

Yep, that's supported!

Here's an example schedule with business hours during every day of the week, including weekend days:

Biz::Schedule.new do |config|
  config.business_hours = {
    mon: {'09:00' => '17:00'},
    tue: {'09:00' => '17:00'},
    wed: {'09:00' => '17:00'},
    thu: {'09:00' => '17:00'},
    fri: {'09:00' => '17:00'},
    sat: {'10:00' => '14:00'},
    sun: {'10:00' => '14:00'}
  }
end

Does that make sense?

Thanks for the prompt response! :)

Yep, that's what I thought how it could be done, although for my specific use case, I only like to specify specific dates as working days, e.g. Chinese New Year holiday essentially swaps two weekend days as working days. The code you provided would then require specifying all "normal" weekend days as holidays.

Ah, that's interesting. It sounds like you're looking for something like "reverse holidays" where the time is on instead of off. I don't know if that's a use case we'd support in the gem proper, but it's an interesting concept for a potential extension.

In any case, it could be approximated by configuring business hours for the weekend as necessary for the Chinese New Year and then configuring all other "normal" weekend dates as holidays.

It wouldn't be the most elegant solution in the world, but it would be accurate!

Yep, exactly!

No worries, when I have time I might look into it. :)

Thanks for such quick responses, I appreciate it!

Is it possible to implement this feature? I need it as well for my app.

Thanks a lot.
