Usage and example

The default timezone is Local, assuming the current time is 2020-08-05 13:14:15

Yesterday,today and tomorrow

// Datetime of today
carbon.Now().ToDateTimeString() // 2020-08-05 13:14:15
// Date of today
carbon.Now().ToDateString() // 2020-08-05
// Time of today
carbon.Now().ToTimeString() // 13:14:15
// Timestamp with second of today
carbon.Now().ToTimestamp() // 1596604455
carbon.Now().ToTimestampWithSecond() // 1596604455
// Timestamp with millisecond of today
carbon.Now().ToTimestampWithMillisecond() // 1596604455000
// Timestamp with microsecond of today

Database

Assuming the database table is users, its fields have id(int), name(varchar), age(int), birthday(datetime), graduated_at(datetime), created_at(datetime), updated_at(datetime), date_time1(datetime), date_time2(datetime), date_time3(datetime), date_time4(datetime)

Define model

type UserModel struct {
    ID  int64  `json:"id"`
    Name string `json:"name"`
    Age int `json:"age"`
    Birthday carbon.ToDateTimeString `json:"birthday"`
    GraduatedAt carbon.ToDateString `json:"graduated_at"`
    CreatedAt carbon.ToTimeString `json:"created_at"`
    UpdatedAt carbon.ToTimestamp `json:"updated_at"`
    DateTime1 carbon.ToTimestampWithSecond `json:"date_time1"`
    DateTime2 carbon.ToTimestampWithMillisecond `json:"date_time2"`
    DateTime3 carbon.ToTimestampWithMicrosecond `json:"date_time3"`
    DateTime4 carbon.ToTimestampWithNanosecond `json:"date_time4"`
}

Instantiate model

user := UserModel {
    ID: 1153,
    Name: "gouguoyin",
    Age: 18,
    Birthday: carbon.ToDateTimeString{carbon.Now().SubYears(18)},
    GraduatedAt: carbon.ToDateString{carbon.Parse("2012-09-09")},
    CreatedAt: carbon.ToTimeString{carbon.Now()},
    UpdatedAt: carbon.ToTimestamp{carbon.Now()},
    DateTime1: carbon.ToTimestampWithSecond{carbon.Now()},
    DateTime2: carbon.ToTimestampWithMillisecond{carbon.Now()},
    DateTime3: carbon.ToTimestampWithMicrosecond{carbon.Now()},
    DateTime4: carbon.ToTimestampWithNanosecond{carbon.Now()},
}

Output fields

user.ID // 1153
user.Name // gouguoyin
user.Age // 18
user.Birthday.ToDateTimeString() // 2012-08-05 13:14:15
user.GraduatedAt.ToDateString() // 2012-09-09
user.CreatedAt.ToTimeString() // 13:14:15
user.UpdatedAt.ToTimestamp() // 1596604455
user.DateTime1.ToTimestampWithSecond() // 1596604455
user.DateTime2.ToTimestampWithMillisecond() // 1596604455000
user.DateTime3.ToTimestampWithMicrosecond() // 1596604455000000
user.DateTime4.ToTimestampWithNanosecond() // 1596604455000000000

Output model by json

data, _ := json.Marshal(&user)
fmt.Print(string(data))
// Output
{
    "id": 1153,
    "name": "gouguoyin",
    "age": 18,
    "birthday": "2012-08-05 13:14:15",
    "graduated_at": "2012-09-09",
    "created_at": "13:14:15",
    "updated_at": 1596604455,
    "date_time1": 1596604455,
    "date_time2": 1596604455000,
    "date_time3": 1596604455000000,
    "date_time4": 1596604455000000000,
}

Output custom format

// Define format
type ToRssString struct {
    carbon.Carbon
}

// Define model
type UserModel struct {
    Birthday carbon.ToRssString `json:"birthday"`
}

// Instantiate model
user := UserModel {
    Birthday: carbon.ToRssString{carbon.Now()},
}

// Overload MarshalJSON method
func (c ToRssString) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error) {
	return []byte(fmt.Sprintf(`"%s"`, c.ToRssString())), nil
}

// Output model by json.Marshal(&user)
{
    "birthday": "Wed, 05 Aug 2020 13:14:15 +0800",
}

I18n

The following languages are supported

• simplified Chinese(zh-CN)
• traditional Chinese(zh-TW)

The following methods are supported

• ToMonthString()：to string of month
• ToShortMonthString()：to string of short month
• ToWeekString()：to string of week
• ToShortWeekString()：to string of short week
• Constellation()：get constellation name

Set locale

c.Constellation() // 狮子座

// Way two
lang := NewLanguage()

Error handling

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

Scene one

c := carbon.SetTimezone(PRC).Parse("123456")
if c.Error != nil {
    // Error handle...
    log.Fatal(c.Error)
}
fmt.Println(c.ToDateTimeString())
// Output
the value "123456" can't parse string as time

Scene two

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

Scene three

c := carbon.SetTimezone("XXXX").Parse("12345678")
if c.Error != nil {
    // Error handle...
    log.Fatal(c.Error)
}
fmt.Println(c.ToDateTimeString())
// Output
invalid timezone "XXXX", please see the $GOROOT/lib/time/zoneinfo.zip file for all valid timezone
