Clock

A library for mocking time in Golang.

Usage

Real clock

The clock will return time using time package

package mypackage

import "github.com/nhatthm/go-clock"

type Application struct {
	clock clock.Clock
}

func (a *Application) Do() {
	ts := a.clock.Now()

	// Other logic.
}

func New(clock clock.Clock) *Application {
	return &Application{
		clock: clock,
	}
}

var app = New(clock.New())

Static clock

The clock will return a fixed timestamp.

package mypackage

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/nhatthm/go-clock"
)

type Application struct {
	clock clock.Clock
}

func (a *Application) Do() {
	ts := a.clock.Now()
	// ts is "2020-01-02T03:04:05Z"

	// Other logic.
}

func New() *Application {
	return &Application{
		clock: clock.Fix(time.Date(2020, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0, time.UTC)),
	}
}

Mock

The clock is mocked using stretchr/testify/mock

package mypackage

import (
	"testing"
	"time"

	clockMock "github.com/nhatthm/go-clock/mock"
)

func TestApplication(t *testing.T) {
	t.Parallel()

	ts := time.Date(2020, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0, time.UTC)

	clock := clockMock.Mock(func(c *mock.Clock) {
		c.On("Now").Return(ts).Once()
	})(t)

	app := New(clock)
	
	// assertions.
}

Types

type Clock

type Clock interface {
	// Now returns the current local time.
	Now() time.Time
}

Clock provides time-functionalities.

type StaticClock

type StaticClock struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

StaticClock is the clock that has a fixed timestamp.

func Fix

func Fix(timestamp time.Time) StaticClock

Fix creates a fixed clock with a given timestamp.

func (StaticClock) Clock

func (c StaticClock) Clock() Clock

Clock provides clock.Clock.

func (StaticClock) Now

func (c StaticClock) Now() time.Time

Now returns a fixed timestamp.

type TimeClock

type TimeClock struct{}

TimeClock is a clock that uses `time` package as the source.

func New

func New() TimeClock

New creates a live clock that uses `time` package.

func (TimeClock) Clock

func (c TimeClock) Clock() Clock

Clock provides clock.Clock.

func (TimeClock) Now

func (TimeClock) Now() time.Time

Now returns the current local time.
