I'm looking for a clean way to do this in go:
package main import( "fmt" t "time" ) func isSameDate() bool { timeA, err := t.Parse("01022006 15:04", "08152016 09:00") timeB, err := t.Parse("01022006 15:04", "08152016 07:30") return timeA.Date == timeB.Date // This is C# code but I'm looking for something similar in GO } Should return true
If you use the Truncate function from the time package you can cut it down to the date.
So truncate both times with the parameter 24 * time.Hour to get the date of each and compare with the Equal function.
timeA, _ := t.Parse("01022006 15:04", "08152016 09:00") timeB, _ := t.Parse("01022006 15:04", "08152016 07:30") return timeA.Truncate(24 * time.Hour).Equal(timeB.Truncate(24*time.Hour)) Here's the sample: https://play.golang.org/p/39ws4DL2pB
Could call timeA.Date() format that to a string and compare them like in the following example. Don't know if there's a better way.
func isSameDate() bool { timeA, _ := t.Parse("01022006 15:04", "08152016 09:00") timeB, _ := t.Parse("01022006 15:04", "08152016 07:30") ay, am, ad := timeA.Date() a := fmt.Sprintf("%d%d%d", ay, am, ad) by, bm, bd := timeB.Date() b := fmt.Sprintf("%d%d%d", by, bm, bd) return a == b }
