duration
It's a Go module for parsing ISO 8601 durations and converting them to the often much more useful time.Duration.
why?
ISO 8601 is a pretty common standard and sometimes these durations show up in the wild.
installation
go get github.com/sosodev/duration
usage
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
"github.com/sosodev/duration"
)
func main() {
d, err := duration.Parse("P3Y6M4DT12H30M5.5S")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(d.Years) // 3
fmt.Println(d.Months) // 6
fmt.Println(d.Days) // 4
fmt.Println(d.Hours) // 12
fmt.Println(d.Minutes) // 30
fmt.Println(d.Seconds) // 5.5
d, err = duration.Parse("T33.3S")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(d.ToTimeDuration() == time.Second*33+time.Millisecond*300) // true
}
correctness
This module aims to implement the ISO 8601 duration specification correctly. It properly supports fractional units and has unit tests
that assert the correctness of it's parsing and conversion to a time.Duration.
With that said durations with months or years specified will be converted to time.Duration with a little fuzziness. Since I
couldn't find a standard value, and they obviously vary, for those I used 2.628e+15 nanoseconds for a month and 3.154e+16 nanoseconds for a year.

Types ¶
type Duration ¶
type Duration struct {
Years float64
Months float64
Weeks float64
Days float64
Hours float64
Minutes float64
Seconds float64
}
Duration holds all the smaller units that make up the duration
func Parse ¶
Parse attempts to parse the given duration string into a *Duration if parsing fails an error is returned instead
func (*Duration) ToTimeDuration ¶
ToTimeDuration converts the *Duration to the standard library's time.Duration note that for *Duration's with period values of a month or year that the duration becomes a bit fuzzy since obviously those things vary month to month and year to year I used the values that Google's search provided me with as I couldn't find anything concrete on what they should be
