Tareekh

Tareekh is a GoLang library to make it a little bit easy to work with dates. This was written to avoid reimplementing common functionality working with time.Time.

Time zone

By default the Local timezone is used. But if you want to specify a particular timezone, just do:

tareekh.TimeZone = "America/New_York" //EST

Examples

Yesterday

yesterday := tareekh.Yesterday()
fmt.Println(yesterday) //yesterdays time object

FromDateString

dt, err := tareekh.FromDateString("2016-11-22")
if err != nil {
  //handle error
}
fmt.Println(t)

ToShortDate

t, _ := tareekh.FromDateString("2016-11-22")
shortDate := tareekh.ToShortDate(t)
fmt.Println(shortDate) //should print 2016-11-22

IsDateInFuture

future := time.Now().AddDate(0, 0, 1)
isit := tareekh.IsDateInFuture(future)
fmt.Println(isit) //should be true

BeginningOfMonth

begin := tareekh.BeginningOfMonth() //first of current month

EndOfMonth

end := tareekh.EndOfMonth() //last day of current month

FromDayOfMonth

dayx := tareekh.FromDayOfMonth(1) //specified day of current month
