Golang : Get current time
Problem :
Need to get current time stamp in Go and display in string.
Solution :
Use the time.Local() and time.Format() functions.
getcurrenttime.go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"time"
)
func main() {
// get current timestamp
currenttime := time.Now().Local()
fmt.Println("Current time : ", currenttime.Format("2006-01-02 15:04:05 +0800"))
}
Execute the code
>go run getcurrenttime.go
and the output will be :
Current time : 2014-06-30 14:23:38 +0800
Take note that +0800
is the timezone in my current location. You can change it to suit your timezone.
