Installation

Go version >= 1.17 (recommend)

// By github
go get -u github.com/dromara/carbon/v2

import "github.com/dromara/carbon/v2"

// By gitee
go get -u gitee.com/dromara/carbon/v2

import "gitee.com/dromara/carbon/v2"

Because carbon was donated to the dromara organization, the repository url has changed. If the previous repository used was golang-module/carbon, please replace the original repository with the new repository in go.mod, for example

go mod edit -replace github.com/golang-module/carbon/v2=github.com/dromara/carbon/v2

Usage and example

Assuming the current time is 2020-08-05 13:14:15.999999999 +0800 CST

Set globally default values

carbon.SetDefault(carbon.Default{
  Layout: carbon.DateTimeLayout,
  Timezone: carbon.Local,
  WeekStartsAt: carbon.Sunday,
  Locale: "en", // value range: translate file name in the lang directory, excluding file suffix
})

Suggest setting in the entry file such as main.go

Convert between Carbon and time.Time

// Convert standard Time.time to Carbon
carbon.CreateFromStdTime(time.Now())
// Convert Carbon to standard Time.time
carbon.Now().StdTime()

Set locale

lang := carbon.NewLanguage()

if c.Error != nil {

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

Testing

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

Error

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

c := carbon.SetTimezone("xxx").Parse("2020-08-05")
if c.Error != nil {
  // Error handle...
  log.Fatal(c.Error)
}
// 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, and the v2 is implemented by the standard library embed after golang1.16. If your golang version is 1.16+, the v2 is recommended, otherwise, the v1 is required.
