module ActiveRecord
# = Active Record Timestamp
#
# Active Record automatically timestamps create and update operations if the
# table has fields named created_at/created_on or
# updated_at/updated_on.
#
# Timestamping can be turned off by setting:
#
# ActiveRecord::Base.record_timestamps = false
#
# Timestamps are in the local timezone by default but you can use UTC by setting:
#
# ActiveRecord::Base.default_timezone = :utc
#
# == Time Zone aware attributes
#
# By default, ActiveRecord::Base keeps all the datetime columns time zone aware by executing following code.
#
# ActiveRecord::Base.time_zone_aware_attributes = true
#
# This feature can easily be turned off by assigning value false .
#
# If your attributes are time zone aware and you desire to skip time zone conversion for certain
# attributes then you can do following:
#
# Topic.skip_time_zone_conversion_for_attributes = [:written_on]
