Package date provides functionality for working with dates. It implements a light-weight Date type that is storage-efficient and convenient for calendrical calculations and date parsing and formatting (including years outside the [0,9999] interval). Subpackages provide: * `clock.Clock` which expresses a wall-clock style hours-minutes-seconds with millisecond precision. * `period.Period` which expresses a period corresponding to the ISO-8601 form (e.g. "PT30S"). * `timespan.DateRange` which expresses a period between two dates. * `timespan.TimeSpan` which expresses a duration of time between two instants. * `view.VDate` which wraps `Date` for use in templates etc. This package follows very closely the design of package time (http://golang.org/pkg/time/) in the standard library, many of the Date methods are implemented using the corresponding methods of the time.Time type, and much of the documentation is copied directly from that package. https://golang.org/src/time/time.go https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proleptic_Gregorian_calendar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_year_numbering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc850 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1123 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339
Readme
Package date provides functionality for working with dates.
This package introduces a light-weight Date type that is storage-efficient
and convenient for calendrical calculations and date parsing and formatting
(including years outside the [0,9999] interval).
It also provides
clock.Clock which expresses a wall-clock style hours-minutes-seconds with millisecond precision.period.Period which expresses a period corresponding to the ISO-8601 form (e.g. "PT30S").timespan.DateRange which expresses a period between two dates.timespan.TimeSpan which expresses a duration of time between two instants.view.VDate which wraps Date for use in templates etc.See package documentation for full documentation and examples.
go get -u github.com/rickb777/date
or
dep ensure -add github.com/rickb777/date
This library has been in reliable production use for some time. Versioning follows the well-known semantic version pattern.
This package follows very closely the design of package
time in the standard library;
many of the Date methods are implemented using the corresponding methods
of the time.Time type and much of the documentation is copied directly
from that package.
The original Good Work on which this was based was done by Filippo Tampieri at Fxtlabs.
