A simple extension for Time based on PHP's Carbon library.

Features:

• Time is embedded into Carbon (provides access to all of Time's functionality)
• Supports addition and subtraction of dates
• Provides methods to compare dates
• Supports date formatting in common formats
• Easily calculate difference between dates
• Ease testing with dates by using carbon.Freeze() and carbon.Now()

To do:

• Implement all localization features as in Carbon
• Improve the code style to be more idiomatic Go

Install Carbon:

go get github.com/uniplaces/carbon

Add to your imports to start using Carbon

import "github.com/uniplaces/carbon"

A simple example to get you started:

package main
import (
	"fmt"
	"time"
	"github.com/uniplaces/carbon"
)
func main() {
	fmt.Printf("Right now is %s\n", carbon.Now().DateTimeString())
	today, _ := carbon.NowInLocation("America/Vancouver")
	fmt.Printf("Right now in Vancouver is %s\n", today)
	fmt.Printf("Tomorrow is %s\n", carbon.Now().AddDay())
	fmt.Printf("Last week is %s\n", carbon.Now().SubWeek())
	nextOlympics, _ := carbon.CreateFromDate(2016, time.August, 5, "Europe/London")
	nextOlympics = nextOlympics.AddYears(4)
	fmt.Printf("Next olympics are in %d\n", nextOlympics.Year())
	if carbon.Now().IsWeekend() {
		fmt.Printf("Party time!")
	}
}
