Types Package

The types package provides custom type definitions and utilities for common data types.

Features

• DateTime Type: Custom time type with JSON serialization
• Standard Format: Consistent datetime formatting across the application
• JSON Integration: Automatic marshaling/unmarshaling

Main Components

DateTime

Custom time type for consistent datetime handling:

• Based on time.Time
• Format: 2006-01-02 15:04:05 (local time)
• JSON marshaling/unmarshaling support

Methods

• UnmarshalJSON(data): Parse from JSON string
• MarshalJSON(): Convert to JSON string
• String(): Format as string
• Time(): Convert to standard time.Time

Usage

// Use DateTime in structs
type MyModel struct {
    CreatedAt types.DateTime
}

// Automatically handles JSON serialization
// Input: "2024-01-15 10:30:00"
// Output: "2024-01-15 10:30:00"

Format

The datetime format is: 2006-01-02 15:04:05

This follows Go's reference time format and represents:

• Year-Month-Day Hour:Minute:Second
• Local timezone

Dependencies

• Standard library time package
