Not sure what I am missing.
Operation is simple : Format the current time to a specific format.
Want to use the format -
yyyy.MM.dd’T’HH:mm:ss.SSS
fmt.Println(time.Now().Format("2018.07.08T12:00:00.123"))
Output is coming as
10118.07.08T1110:00:00.111011
The string that you pass into Format needs to be a specific value: 2006-01-02 03:04:05 PM (UTC-7). Notice how you see all the numbers between 1 and 7 in there. The way you define a format in Go is to write that specific date in the format you want to see your actual time value formatted into. In your case, I think you want it to be: "2006.01.02T15:04:05".
Thanks @skillian . What I donot understand is how is your format and my format different? Except the millisecond part at the end.
However I figured out that go playground has issues with time.
The difference is that you used the date 2018-07-08 but it must be the specific date 2006-01-02. Those are magic numbers that Go uses to determine where it should format the year, month and day, respectively.
oh! That was some learning.
Another question how to restrict the milisecond to only 2-3 digits within the formatter? Is there any way?
I’m not sure how to do that or if it can be done.
