Ruby

Chronic is a pure Ruby natural language date parser.

Chronic.parse

Parses a string containing a natural language date or time.

If the parser can find a date or time, either a Time or Chronic::Span
will be returned (depending on the value of `:guess`). If no
date or time can be found, `nil` will be returned.

text - The String text to parse.
opts - An optional Hash of configuration options passed to Parser::new.
