Introduction

A simple, semantic and developer-friendly golang package for time, has been included by awesome-go

github.com/golang-module/carbon

gitee.com/golang-module/carbon

Installation

Go version >= 1.16 (recommend)
// By github
go get -u github.com/golang-module/carbon/v2

import "github.com/golang-module/carbon/v2"

// By gitee
go get -u gitee.com/golang-module/carbon/v2

import "gitee.com/golang-module/carbon/v2"
Go version < 1.16 (must)
// By github
go get -u github.com/golang-module/carbon

import "github.com/golang-module/carbon"

// By gitee
go get -u gitee.com/golang-module/carbon

import "gitee.com/golang-module/carbon"

Please refer to <a href="#faq">FAQ</a> for the difference between v1 and v2, v1 is no longer updated, only maintained.

Usage and example

Assuming the current time is 2020-08-05 13:14:15.999999999 +0800 CST

Set globally default values
carbon.SetDefault(carbon.Default{
  Layout: carbon.DateTimeLayout,
  Timezone: carbon.Local,
  WeekStartsAt: carbon.Sunday,
  Locale: "en",
})

Suggest setting in the entry file such as main.go

FAQ

1、What is the difference between v1 and v2?

There is no difference between v1 and v2 of the API, but the implementation of the translation resource files in language.go is different. The v1 is implemented by the third-party extension library packr, and the v2 is implemented by the standard library embed after golang1.16. If your golang version is 1.16+, the v2 is recommended, otherwise, the v1 is required.
