func GetTimestamp ¶

func GetTimestamp(value string, reference time.Time) (string, error)

GetTimestamp tries to parse given string as golang duration, then RFC3339 time and finally as a Unix timestamp. If any of these were successful, it returns a Unix timestamp as string otherwise returns the given value back. In case of duration input, the returned timestamp is computed as the given reference time minus the amount of the duration.

func ParseTimestamps ¶

func ParseTimestamps(value string, defaultSeconds int64) (seconds int64, nanoseconds int64, err error)

ParseTimestamps returns seconds and nanoseconds from a timestamp that has the format ("%d.%09d", time.Unix(), int64(time.Nanosecond())). If the incoming nanosecond portion is longer than 9 digits it is truncated. The expectation is that the seconds and nanoseconds will be used to create a time variable. For example:

seconds, nanoseconds, _ := ParseTimestamp("1136073600.000000001",0)
since := time.Unix(seconds, nanoseconds)

returns seconds as defaultSeconds if value == ""
