Go Date Parser
Parse any date string without knowing format in advance. Uses a scanner to read bytes and use a state machine to find format. Much faster than shotgun based parse methods. See bench_test.go for performance comparison.
Timezones The location your server is configured effects the results! See example or https://play.golang.org/p/IDHRalIyXh and last paragraph here https://golang.org/pkg/time/#Parse.
// Normal parse. Equivalent Timezone rules as time.Parse()
t, err := dateparse.ParseAny("3/1/2014")
// Parse with Location, equivalent to time.ParseInLocation() timezone/offset
// rules. Using location arg, if timezone/offset info exists in the
// datestring, it uses the given location rules for any zone interpretation.
// That is, MST means one thing when using America/Denver and something else
// in other locations.
denverLoc, _ := time.LoadLocation("America/Denver")
t, err := dateparse.ParseIn("3/1/2014", denverLoc)
// Set Location to time.Local. Same as ParseIn Location but lazily uses
// the global time.Local variable for Location argument.
denverLoc, _ := time.LoadLocation("America/Denver")
// use time.Local global variable to store location
time.Local = denverLoc
t, err := dateparse.ParseLocal("3/1/2014")
// Equivalent to
t, err := dateparse.ParseIn("3/1/2014", time.Local)

Overview ¶
Package dateparse parses date-strings without knowing the format in advance, using a fast lex based approach to eliminate shotgun attempts. It leans towards US style dates when there is a conflict.
Index ¶
Constants ¶
View Source
const (
Day = time.Hour * 24
)
Variables ¶
This section is empty.
Functions ¶
func MustParse ¶
MustParse parse a date, and panic if it can't be parsed. Used for testing. Not recommended for most use-cases.
func ParseAny ¶
ParseAny parse an unknown date format, detect the layout, parse. Normal parse. Equivalent Timezone rules as time.Parse()
func ParseIn ¶
ParseIn with Location, equivalent to time.ParseInLocation() timezone/offset rules. Using location arg, if timezone/offset info exists in the datestring, it uses the given location rules for any zone interpretation. That is, MST means one thing when using America/Denver and something else in other locations.
func ParseLocal ¶
ParseLocal Given an unknown date format, detect the layout, using time.Local, parse.
Set Location to time.Local. Same as ParseIn Location but lazily uses the global time.Local variable for Location argument.
denverLoc, _ := time.LoadLocation("America/Denver")
time.Local = denverLoc
t, err := dateparse.ParseLocal("3/1/2014")
Equivalent to:
t, err := dateparse.ParseIn("3/1/2014", denverLoc)
