strtotime

Image of PHP mascot being switched by Golang mascot

Golang implementation of strtotime, a very popular PHP function for converting English text to a timestamp. This is an exercise inspired on this Javascript implementation.

Installation

strtotime uses Go modules and is compatible with Go 1.12 upwards. Install using go get.

go get github.com/carmo-evan/strtotime

After importing it, the strtotime package will expose only one method: Parse. It takes two arguments - an English string describing some point in time; and a unix timestamp that should represent the current time, or another referencial point in time you want to use.

Try it on the playground.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/carmo-evan/strtotime"
	"time"
)

func main() {
    //Now is Nov 17, 2019
    u, err := strtotime.Parse("next Friday 3pm", time.Now().Unix())
    
    if err != nil {
        // crash and burn
    }

    t := time.Unix(u,0)
    
    fmt.Println(t)
    //output: 2019-11-22 15:00:00 +0000 UTC
}
