Custom time implementation for unmarshalling of time format with only date "2006-01-02"
in json to time.Time
Deserialization from json to struct (which consists of a time.Time
property) fails when the time format in the json isn't RFC3339 โ "2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00"
Hence use this simple implementation to support time format with only date in your json payload.
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
mytime "github.com/vickyramachandra/time"
)
type MyStruct struct {
Time *mytime.Ctime `json:"time"`
}
func main() {
// json payload with date only format
dateFormat := `{"time":"2018-02-18"}`
var myStruct = new(MyStruct)
// this will invoke the unmarshal impl defined in this package
err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(dateFormat), &myStruct)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
// prints 2018 February 18
fmt.Println(myStruct.Time.Date())
}
