If you accept that 1 day is 24 hours in some situations, you might want to parse it in Go too.
This package tries to handle situations where durations were used
without much care (e.g. 1 day is exactly 24 hours from now, 1 week is
168 hours from now, etc.) and you have to parse it in Go
for some
reason.
I decided to create it after reading this Golang Google Groups discussion and this issue. Since I searched, couldn't find one and, it took just some fun minutes, here we are.
Check example_duration_test.go
, if it's not clear or you do not care
about flags
try something like:
package main
import (
"github.com/jonathanbeber/relaxduration"
)
func main() {
d, err := relaxduration.Parse("3 days 7 hours and 15 secs")
if err != nil {
println("unexpected: %v", err)
}
println(d.String())
// Output: 79h0m15s
}
