Using Calends in Golang

Calends exposes a very small handful of things for use outside the library itself. One is the Calends class, documented here, which should be the only interface users of the library ever need to touch.

Another thing Calends exposes is the calendars.TAI64NARUXTime class, used to store and manipulate the instants of time which make up a Calends instance. The rest are interfaces for extending the library’s functionality. These are covered in the Custom Calendars in Golang section.

备注

Calends objects are immutable - all methods return a new Calends object where they might otherwise alter the current one. This is true even of the Calends.Set* methods. This has the side effect of using more memory to perform manipulations than updating values on an existing object would. It makes many operations safer, though, than mutable objects would allow.

Calends: The main entry point to Calends and its functionality. Calends objects should only be created with the Create function, and never directly (especially given its values are all unexported ones).

Create

func Create(value interface, calendar string, format string) (Calends, error)

参数

value (interface{}) – The value to parse the date(s)/time(s) from.
calendar (string) – The calendar system to parse the date(s)/time(s) with.
format (string) – The format the date(s)/time(s) is/are expected to use.

返回

A new Calends object

返回类型

Calends

返回

error when an error occurs; nil otherwise

返回类型

error or nil

Creates a new Calends object, using calendar to select a calendar system, and format to parse the contents of value into the Calends object’s internal instants. The type of value can vary based on the calendar system itself, but generally speaking can always be a string.

In any case, the value can always be a map[string]interface{}, where the keys are any two of start, end, and duration. If all three are provided, duration is ignored in favor of calculating it directly. If only one of the listed keys is provided, value is passed to the calendar system itself unchanged.

The calendar system then converts value to a calendars.TAI64NARUXTime instant, which the Calends object sets to the appropriate internal value.
