Current year in Ruby on Rails -

how can current year in ruby on rails?

i tried variety of things, including

the problem return previous year in cases year changes after launching server (eg. after new year's).

relevant code:

model brewery.rb

class brewery < activerecord: :base ... validates :year, numericality: { only_integer: true, less_than_or_equal_to: date.today.year } ...

problem occurs when creating new brewery, assumed date.today.year evaluated whenever action takes place.

in example date.today.year evaluated once, when class loaded , doesn't change anymore.

when use lambda in validator declaration, re-evaluates block each time when validates attribute:

validates :year, numericality: {    only_integer: true,    less_than_or_equal_to: ->(_brewery){ date.current.year } }

furthermore suggest use date.current instead of date.today, because current pays attention time zone settings.
