#### Introduction

A simple, semantic and developer-friendly golang package for datetime, has been included
by [awesome-go](https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go#date-and-time "awesome-go")

[github.com/golang-module/carbon](https://github.com/golang-module/carbon "github.com/golang-module/carbon")

[gitee.com/golang-module/carbon](https://gitee.com/golang-module/carbon "gitee.com/golang-module/carbon")

#### Installation

##### Go version >= 1.16 (recommend)

```go
// By github
go get -u github.com/golang-module/carbon/v2

import "github.com/golang-module/carbon/v2"

// By gitee
go get -u gitee.com/golang-module/carbon/v2

import "gitee.com/golang-module/carbon/v2"
```

##### Go version < 1.16 (must)

```go
// By github
go get -u github.com/golang-module/carbon

import "github.com/golang-module/carbon"

// By gitee
go get -u gitee.com/golang-module/carbon

###### Instantiate model
```go
now := Parse("2020-08-05 13:14:15", PRC)
person := Person {
  Name:      "gouguoyin",
  Age:       18,
  
  Birthday0: now,
  Birthday1: now,
  Birthday2: now,
  Birthday3: now,
  Birthday4: now,
  Birthday5: now,
  Birthday6: now,
}
```

###### JSON encode

```go
loadErr := carbon.LoadTag(&person)
if loadErr != nil {
  // Error handle...
  log.Fatal(loadErr)
}
data, marshalErr := json.Marshal(person)
if marshalErr != nil {
  // Error handle...
  log.Fatal(marshalErr)
}
fmt.Printf("%s", data)
// Output

###### JSON decode

###### Set locale

```go
lang := carbon.NewLanguage()
lang.SetLocale("en")

c := carbon.SetLanguage(lang)
if c.Error != nil {
    // Error handle...
    log.Fatal(err)
}

c.Now().AddHours(1).DiffForHumans() // 1 hour from now
c.Now().AddHours(1).ToMonthString() // August
c.Now().AddHours(1).ToShortMonthString() // Aug
c.Now().AddHours(1).ToWeekString() // Wednesday
c.Now().AddHours(1).ToShortWeekString() // Wed
c.Now().AddHours(1).Constellation() // Leo
c.Now().AddHours(1).Season() // Summer
```

###### Reset some resources(the rests still translate from the given locale)

```go
lang := carbon.NewLanguage()
lang.SetLocale("en")

resources := map[string]string {
    "hour": "%dh",
}
lang.SetResources(resources)

c := carbon.SetLanguage(lang)
if c.Error != nil {
	// Error handle...
	log.Fatal(err)
}

c.Now().AddYears(1).DiffForHumans() // 1 year from now
c.Now().AddHours(1).DiffForHumans() // 1h from now
c.Now().ToMonthString() // August
c.Now().ToShortMonthString() // Aug
c.Now().ToWeekString() // Tuesday
c.Now().ToShortWeekString() // Tue
c.Now().Constellation() // Leo
c.Now().Season() // Summer
```

###### Reset all resources

```go
lang := carbon.NewLanguage()
resources := map[string]string {
    "months": "january|february|march|april|may|june|july|august|september|october|november|december",
    "short_months": "jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec",

    "from_now": "in %s",
    "before": "%s before",
    "after": "%s after",
}
lang.SetResources(resources)

c := carbon.SetLanguage(lang)
c.Now().AddYears(1).DiffForHumans() // in 1 yr
c.Now().AddHours(1).DiffForHumans() // in 1h
c.Now().ToMonthString() // august
c.Now().ToShortMonthString() // aug
c.Now().ToWeekString() // tuesday
c.Now().ToShortWeekString() // tue
c.Now().Constellation() // leo
c.Now().Season() // summer
```

##### Testing

```go
c := carbon.SetTimezone(carbon.UTC)

c.Now().ToDateString() // 2023-12-27
c.Now().IsSetTestNow() // false

c.SetTestNow(carbon.Parse("2020-08-05"))
c.Now().ToDateString() // 2020-08-05
c.Now().IsSetTestNow() // true

c.UnSetTestNow()
c.Now().ToDateString() // 2023-12-2
c.Now().IsSetTestNow() // false
```

##### Error

> If more than one error occurs, only the first error is returned

```go
c := carbon.SetTimezone("xxx").Parse("2020-08-05")
if c.Error != nil {
    // Error handle...
    log.Fatal(c.Error)
}
fmt.Println(c.ToDateTimeString())
// Output
invalid timezone "xxx", please see the file "$GOROOT/lib/time/zoneinfo.zip" for all valid timezones
```

#### FAQ

1、What is the difference between v1 and v2?
> There is no difference between v1 and v2 of the API, but the implementation of the translation resource files in `language.go` is different. The v1 is implemented by the third-party extension library [packr](https://github.com/gobuffalo/packr), and the v2 is implemented by the standard library [embed](https://pkg.go.dev/embed) after `golang1.16`. If your golang version is `1.16+`, the v2 is recommended, otherwise, the v1 is required.
