Package unixtime

This package has been created to provide functions to convert between Go time values and integers representing the Unix time in micro- or milliseconds.

Ian Lance Taylor suggested to create such a package in the discussion of Go issue #27782. The package should be used to measure, whether there is really a need for this functionality that would justify the inclusion in the standard library. Note that the issue was a duplicate of #18935.

Installing the package

Use the get get command to download the module.

$ go get -u github.com/ulikunitz/unixtime

Using the package

import (
        "fmt"
        "log"
        "time"

        "github.com/ulikunitz/unixtime"
)

func Example() {
        t, err := time.Parse(time.RFC3339Nano, "1961-04-12T09:06:59.7+03:00")
        if err != nil {
                log.Fatalf("Parse error %s", err)
        }

        ms := unixtime.Milli(t)
        fmt.Printf("Unix time: %d ms\n", ms)

        tms := unixtime.FromMilli(ms)
        fmt.Printf("FromMilli: %s\n", tms.Format(time.RFC3339Nano))

        µs := unixtime.Micro(t)
        fmt.Printf("Unix time: %d µs\n", µs)

        tµs := unixtime.FromMicro(µs)
        fmt.Printf("FromMicro: %s\n", tµs.Format(time.RFC3339Nano))
}
