If you would like ISO 8601 time and date formatting by default in your Ruby on Rails application, add the following code to your environment.rb file:

ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Time::Conversions::DATE_  
  FORMATS.update(:default => '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')  
ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_    
  FORMATS.update(:default => '%Y-%m-%d')
