Natural date time parsing for Go. This package was originally forked from github.com/tj/go-naturaldate but has diverged so much that it needed a new name to avoid confusion. Here are the largest differences:
- The
go-anytimemodule is written in terms of the github.com/ijt/goparsify parser combinator module, rather than the github.com/pointlander/peg parsing module. That made its development and debugging easier, and also means that its parsers can be use within other parsers that useijt/goparsify. - Ranges can be parsed using
ParseRangeorRangeParser, for example"from 3 feb 2022 until 6 oct 2022". - Dates/times and ranges can be replaced in strings using the funcs
ReplaceTimesByFunc,ReplaceRangesByFunc, andReplaceDateRangesByFunc. - Strings can be partitioned into time and non-time parts using the funcs
PartitionTimesandPartitionTimesByFuncs.
Here are some examples of expressions that can be parsed by anytime.Parse() or anytime.Parser:
