Package tz (timezone)

Package tz contains information about Timezones (Country, Zone and Timezones) generated from timezonedb.com

This library is nothing special, it contains alphabetically sorted Country, Zone and Timezone info that can be used within your project.

Motivation

I got timezone abbreviation and offset in browser and I wanted to find timezone by this data. This package can do it.

I found https://github.com/go-playground/tz and forked it. I hope it is help you!

Thank you @go-playground!

Get zones by country, abbreviation and offset

tz.GetZones(country string, abbr string, offset int)

Get zones by abbreviation and offset

Example using with

timezones := tz.GetZones("AF", "LMT", 16608)
if len(timezones) > 0 {
    loc, _ := time.LoadLocation(timezones[0])
    // now that you have location can use with Go's time package which handles timezone offsets & Daylight savings times.
    time.ParseInLocation(...)
    time.Now().In(loc)
}

NOTES

This is intended to be used along side Go's own time logic eg. time.LoadLocation
