Ruby Year-Month-Date of last Sunday
ruby, ruby-on-rails, time
Solution
In rails 4:
most_recent_sunday = Time.now.sunday.to_s
last_sunday = Time.now.last_week.sunday.to_s
To get it to the format you are after:
DateTime.parse(most_recent_sunday).strftime("%Y-%m-%d")

Problem
I need to calculate in the format of `2014-01-20` the last two Sundays. So, `last_sunday = 2014-01-20` and `most_recent_sunday = 2014-01-26`. I am using Rails 4.0 and Ruby 2.0. How can I get these dates?
