Golang : Get local time and equivalent time in different time zone
Problem :
You want to show your website visitor the local time(on your server) and the equivalent time in another time zone. For example, KL(server time) and New York time.
Solution :
- Get local server time.
- Convert the local time to target timezone with
time.In()
function.
For example :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
t := time.Now()
fmt.Println("Location : ", t.Location(), " Time : ", t)
// get the list of available time zones
location, err := time.LoadLocation("America/New_York")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
fmt.Println("Location : ", location, " Time : ", t.In(location))
}
Sample output :
Location : Local Time : 2015-07-30 16:39:28.158021072 +0800 MYT
Location : America/New_York Time : 2015-07-30 04:39:28.158021072 -0400 EDT
