Golang : Get month name from date example
Problem:
You have a date and you want to get the month name from the date. For example,10/10/2017
should give you October or 03/11/2018
returns March. Both dates are mm/dd/yyyy
format.
How to do that?
Solution:
Use the .Date()
method to get month name. You can convert the date to Golang's time.Time
type first if needed. See https://www.socketloop.com/tutorials/golang-convert-date-or-time-stamp-from-string-to-time-time-type
Here is a sample code:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
now := time.Now()
fmt.Println("Now is : ", now)
// get month name from now
_, month, _ := now.Date()
fmt.Println("and the month is : ", month)
}
Output:
Now is : 2017-02-07 11:51:46.190819028 +0800 MYT
and the month is : February
