golang date type conversion

Golang is a very popular programming language, and its performance and ease of use have been widely recognized by developers. In Golang, date types are represented using the time package, and time formatting and date type conversion are very common operations. This article will introduce how to perform date type conversion in Golang.

Time formatting in Golang

In Golang, we can use the formatting function of the time package to format a time into a specified string. For example, the following are some common time formatting Template:

• "2006-01-02 15:04:05" - Output: 2020-12-03 15:30:45
• "01/02/2006 15: 04:05" - Output: 12/03/2020 15:30:45
• "Jan 2, 2006 at 3:04pm" - Output: Dec 3, 2020 at 3:30pm

The above time formatting templates are several common formats, and we can define the format according to our own needs.

Date type conversion in Golang

Golang’s time package provides Parse and Format functions to convert between date types. The Parse function can convert a date format string into a time.Time type, and the Format function can convert a time.Time type into a string.

The following is an example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    // 获取当前时间
    now := time.Now()

    // 将时间格式化成默认格式
    fmt.Println("now time:", now)

    // 将时间格式化成指定格式
    fmt.Println("format time:", now.Format("2006-01-02 15:04:05"))

    // 将字符串解析成时间
    t1, err := time.Parse("2006-01-02 15:04:05", "2020-12-03 15:30:45")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("parse error:", err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Println("parse time:", t1)

    // 将字符串解析成本地时间
    loc, err := time.LoadLocation("Asia/Shanghai")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("load location error:", err)
        return
    }
    t2, err := time.ParseInLocation("2006-01-02 15:04:05", "2020-12-03 15:30:45", loc)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("parse in location error:", err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Println("parse in location time:", t2)
}

In the above code, we first obtain the current time and format it into the default format and the specified format.

We then try to parse a string into a time type. If parsing fails, we need to handle the error. In this example, we use the Parse function to parse the time, which requires two parameters:

• Time format, here is "2006-01-02 15:04:05"
• Time string, here is "2020-12-03 15:30:45"

If the parsing is successful, the parsed time will be printed.

A more complex example is converting local time to UTC time. We can use the time package in Golang to complete this operation. The specific method is as follows:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    // 获取当前时间
    now := time.Now()

    // 获取本地时区
    localZone, _ := now.Local().Zone()

    // 根据本地时区获得时间
    localTime, _ := time.ParseInLocation("2006-01-02 15:04:05", "2022-01-01 16:00:00", time.FixedZone(localZone, 8*60*60))

    // 将本地时间转化为UTC时间
    utcTime := localTime.UTC()

    fmt.Println("Local Time:", localTime.Format("2006-01-02 15:04:05"))
    fmt.Println("UTC Time:", utcTime.Format("2006-01-02 15:04:05"))
}

In this example, we first obtain the current time and then obtain the local time zone. We use the Local() function to get the local time zone, and then use the Zone() function to get the difference between GMT and the local time zone. Then we used the ParseinLocation function to parse a time string. This string is 2022-01-01 16:00:00, and the time format is "2006-01-02 15:04:05". We also used the time.FixedZone function to create a time zone object.

Finally, we convert the local time to UTC time and print it.

Summary

In Golang, date type conversion is a very common operation. We can use Golang's own time package to easily perform date type conversion. Through the introduction of this article, you should already know how to perform date type conversion in Golang.
