Golang : Get timezone offset from date or timestamp
Problem :
You have a date or time stamp and you want get the time zone offset from the date.
Solution :
First, convert the date or time stamp to string. Next,break each part down with strings.Fields()
function and put the parts into an array.
For example :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strings"
"time"
)
func main() {
now := time.Now()
fmt.Println(now)
// convert date time to string
// and then to array with strings.Fields() function
dateArray := strings.Fields(now.String())
// get the offset and timezone
fmt.Println(dateArray)
fmt.Println("Date : ", dateArray[0])
fmt.Println("Time : ", dateArray[1])
fmt.Println("Offset : ", dateArray[2])
fmt.Println("TimeZone : ", dateArray[3])
}
Output :
Date : 2015-08-06
Time : 23:44:34.949427127
Offset : -0400
TimeZone : EDT
