DateTimeConverter

Description

The DateTimeConverter class allows you to convert arbitrary values into Date values using following extended conversion rules:

• Strings: converted using ISO time format
• Numbers: converted using milliseconds since unix epoch

Methods

ToDateTime

Converts value into Date or returns current date when conversion is not possible.
See ToDateTimeWithDefault

ToDateTime(value any) time.Time

• value: any - value to convert.
• returns: time.Time - Date value or current date when conversion is not supported.

ToDateTimeWithDefault

Converts value into Date or returns default when conversion is not possible.

ToDateTimeWithDefault(value any, defaultValue time.Time) time.Time

• value: any - value to convert.
• defaultValue: time.Time - default value.
• returns: time.Time - Date value or default when conversion is not supported.

ToNullableDateTime

Converts value into Date or returns nil when conversion is not possible.

ToNullableDateTime(value any) (time.Time, bool)

• value: any - the value to convert.
• returns: (time.Time, bool) - Date value and true or zero time and false when conversion is not supported.

Examples

value1, ok1 := convert.DateTimeConverter.ToNullableDateTime("ABC")
value2, ok2 := convert.DateTimeConverter.ToNullableDateTime("2019-01-01T11:30:00.0Z")
value3, ok3 := convert.DateTimeConverter.ToNullableDateTime(123)
fmt.Println(value1, ok1) // 0001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC, false
fmt.Println(value2, ok2) // 2019-01-01 11:30:00 +0000 UTC, true
fmt.Println(value3, ok3) // 1970-01-01 02:02:03 +0200 EET, true
