Golang : Convert date or time stamp from string to time.Time type
Problem :
You have dates or time stamps in string format(usually from database) and you want to convert them into time.Time
type. How to do that?
Solution :
Use time.Parse()
function to convert dates or time stamps from string format to time.Time
type.
For example :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"time"
)
func main() {
// convert time string to time.Time type
timeStampString := "Dec 29, 2014 at 7:54pm (SGT)"
layOut := "Jan 2, 2006 at 3:04pm (MST)"
timeStamp, err := time.Parse(layOut, timeStampString)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
hr, min, sec := timeStamp.Clock()
fmt.Printf("Clock : [%d]hour : [%d]minutes : [%d] seconds \n", hr, min, sec)
year, month, day := timeStamp.Date()
fmt.Printf("Date : [%d]year : [%d]month : [%d]day \n", year, month, day)
}
Sample output :
Clock : [19]hour : [54]minutes : [0] seconds
Date : [2014]year : [12]month : [29]day
