Documentation

Overview

Package timeutil adds utility functions to the standard time library.

Index

• type Duration
  • func (d Duration) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error)
  • func (d Duration) String() string
  • func (d *Duration) UnmarshalJSON(data []byte) error

Examples

• Duration.MarshalJSON
• Duration.UnmarshalJSON

Types

type Duration

type Duration time.Duration

Duration is an alias for the standard time.Duration.

func (Duration) MarshalJSON

func (d Duration) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error)

MarshalJSON returns d as the JSON encoding of d. It encodes the time.Duration in human readable format (e.g.: 20s, 1h, ...).

Example

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"time"

	"github.com/Vonage/gosrvlib/pkg/timeutil"
)

func main() {
	type testData struct {
		Time timeutil.Duration `json:"Time"`
	}

	data := testData{
		Time: timeutil.Duration(7*time.Hour + 11*time.Minute + 13*time.Second),
	}

	enc, err := json.Marshal(data)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(string(enc))

}

Output:

{"Time":"7h11m13s"}

func (Duration) String

func (d Duration) String() string

String returns a string representing the duration in the form "72h3m0.5s". It is a wrapper for time.Duration.String().

func (*Duration) UnmarshalJSON

func (d *Duration) UnmarshalJSON(data []byte) error

UnmarshalJSON sets *d to a copy of data. It converts human readable time duration format (e.g.: 20s, 1h, ...) in standard time.Duration.

Example

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/Vonage/gosrvlib/pkg/timeutil"
)

func main() {
	type testData struct {
		Time timeutil.Duration `json:"Time"`
	}

	enc := []byte(`{"Time":"7h11m13s"}`)

	var data testData

	err := json.Unmarshal(enc, &data)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(data.Time.String())

}

Output:

7h11m13s
