fxtlabs/date

A Go package for working with dates

date

Package date provides functionality for working with dates.

This package introduces a light-weight Date type that is storage-efficient and covenient for calendrical calculations and date parsing and formatting (including years outside the [0,9999] interval).

See package documentation for full documentation and examples.

Installation

go get -u github.com/fxtlabs/date

Credits

This package follows very closely the design of package time in the standard library; many of the Date methods are implemented using the corresponding methods of the time.Time type and much of the documentation is copied directly from that package.

date's Issues

database/sql support

When using the date.Date type with the database/sql package, I get errors like error: scanning database row: sql: Scan error on column index 3: unsupported Scan, storing driver.Value type time.Time into type *date.Date or Unable to encode value 2019-01-02

This can be easily solved by implementing both the driver.Valuer and sql.Scanner interfaces.

ParseISO should allow ISO8601 datetime formats

date.ParseISO("2018-02-02T00:00:00Z")

should not fail.
