DateTime::Format::LikeGo - format dates using Go's reference format
use DateTime::Format::LikeGo;
# Format a date
say go-date-format("2006-01-02", DateTime.now);
# convert to strftime format:
say DateTime::Format::LikeGo::go-to-strftime("2006-01-02"); # %Y-%m-%d
A simple module that converts from Golang's "reference time" format to strftime. The intention is for you to specify how a certain datetime would be formatted, and it then can format any date in that style.
The reference date is 2006-01-02T15:04:05-0700, which is written as a series of ascending digits, if rearranged, and 3pm is used instead of 15.
Inspired by complaints about the Go time format.
Format the given time according to the provided format string.
Return the strftime version of the go format.
A string exception is thrown if the converted strftime format has any digits left over, which typically indicate a bad input format.
- Timezone support is missing in DateTime::Format, so strings using timezones will fail until it is added.
- Not well tested overall.
- Rakudo Perl 6 2014.11 or above. Tested primarily on MoarVM.
