How to format current time using a yyyyMMddHHmmss format?
Use
fmt.Println(t.Format("20060102150405"))
as Go uses following constants to format date,refer here
const (
stdLongMonth = "January"
stdMonth = "Jan"
stdNumMonth = "1"
stdZeroMonth = "01"
stdLongWeekDay = "Monday"
stdWeekDay = "Mon"
stdDay = "2"
stdUnderDay = "_2"
stdZeroDay = "02"
stdHour = "15"
stdHour12 = "3"
stdZeroHour12 = "03"
stdMinute = "4"
stdZeroMinute = "04"
stdSecond = "5"
stdZeroSecond = "05"
stdLongYear = "2006"
stdYear = "06"
stdPM = "PM"
stdpm = "pm"
stdTZ = "MST"
stdISO8601TZ = "Z0700" // prints Z for UTC
stdISO8601ColonTZ = "Z07:00" // prints Z for UTC
stdNumTZ = "-0700" // always numeric
stdNumShortTZ = "-07" // always numeric
stdNumColonTZ = "-07:00" // always numeric
stdFracSecond0 = ".0", ".00" // trailing zeros included
stdFracSecond9 = ".9", ".99" // trailing zeros omitted
)
This question comes in top of Google search when you find "golang current time format" so, for all the people that want to use another format, remember that you can always call to:
t := time.Now()
t.Year()
t.Month()
t.Day()
t.Hour()
t.Minute()
t.Second()
For example, to get current date time as "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS" (for example 2019-01-22T12:40:55) you can use these methods with fmt.Sprintf:
t := time.Now()
formatted := fmt.Sprintf("%d-%02d-%02dT%02d:%02d:%02d",
t.Year(), t.Month(), t.Day(),
t.Hour(), t.Minute(), t.Second())
As always, remember that docs are the best source of learning: https://golang.org/pkg/time/
