Overview ¶
Package iso8601 implements parts of International Standards Organization (ISO) 8601: Information interchange - Representation of dates and times this package augments the go standard library time package with some of the additional definitions provided by ISO 8601.
Many will be familiar with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC3339 timestamp format used in JSON & lots of other places, which looks like this:
2019-04-23T11:50:41Z
this format is a "profile" if ISO 8601. Datestamp formats between the two are (generally) the same. ISO 8601 is a larger spec that includes other definitions like a string-based duration and repeating interval formats.
It's worth pointing out that these extra definitions are a little fuzzy. This package takes some liberties that may not be appropriate in all circumstances like defining one month as 30 days. If you're looking for a package with horology-level accuracy, this may not be the right package
This package is a work-in-progress and the API is not yet considered stable

Types ¶
type Duration ¶
Duration is a string representation of a time interval. From wikipedia:
Duration defines the amount of intervening time in a time interval and are represented by the format P[n]Y[n]M[n]DT[n]H[n]M[n]S or P[n]W. In these representations, the [n] is replaced by the value for each of the date and time elements that follow the [n]. Leading zeros are not required, but the maximum number of digits for each element should be agreed to by the communicating parties. The capital letters P, Y, M, W, D, T, H, M, and S are designators for each of the date and time elements and are not replaced. P is the duration designator (for period) placed at the start of the duration representation. Y is the year designator that follows the value for the number of years. M is the month designator that follows the value for the number of months. W is the week designator that follows the value for the number of weeks. D is the day designator that follows the value for the number of days. T is the time designator that precedes the time components of the representation. H is the hour designator that follows the value for the number of hours. M is the minute designator that follows the value for the number of minutes. S is the second designator that follows the value for the number of seconds. For example, "P3Y6M4DT12H30M5S" represents a duration of "three years, six months, four days, twelve hours, thirty minutes, and five seconds". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Usage
func ParseDuration ¶
ParseDuration interprets a string representation into a Duration
type Interval ¶
Interval is the intervening time between two points. From wikipedia:
The amount of intervening time is expressed by a duration. The two time points (start and end) are expressed by either a combined date and time representation or just a date representation: <start>/<end> <start>/<duration> <duration>/<end> <duration> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Time_intervals
func ParseInterval ¶
ParseInterval creates an interval from a string
type RepeatingInterval ¶
type RepeatingInterval struct { // Repititions specifies the number of iterations remaining for this interval // 0 indicates no repititions remain // -1 indicates unbounded ("infinite") repititions Repititions int // Interval is the time interval to repeat Interval Interval }
RepeatingInterval specifies a recurring time interval. From wikipedia:
Repeating intervals are formed by adding "R[n]/" to the beginning of an interval expression, where R is used as the letter itself and [n] is replaced by the number of repetitions Leaving out the value for [n] means an unbounded number of repetitions. If the interval specifies the start then this is the start of the repeating interval. If the interval specifies the end but not the start (form 3 above), then this is the end of the repeating interval. For example, to repeat the interval of "P1Y2M10DT2H30M" five times starting at "2008-03-01T13:00:00Z", use "R5/2008-03-01T13:00:00Z/P1Y2M10DT2H30M". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Usage
func ParseRepeatingInterval ¶
func ParseRepeatingInterval(s string) (ri RepeatingInterval, err error)
ParseRepeatingInterval interprets a string into a RepeatingValue
func (RepeatingInterval) After ¶
func (ri RepeatingInterval) After(t time.Time) time.Time
After returns the next instant an interval will occur from a given point in time. If the given time falls outside of the range specified by the interval, or no repitions of the interval remain, After returns the zero time instant
func (RepeatingInterval) NextRep ¶
func (ri RepeatingInterval) NextRep() RepeatingInterval
NextRep returns the subsequent RepeatingInterval repitition, possibly decrementing the number of remaning repititions
func (RepeatingInterval) String ¶
func (ri RepeatingInterval) String() string
String formats a repeatingInterval as a string value
