Assume the following two dates. The date is the same, however the time is different.
t1, _ := time.Parse("2006-01-02 15:04:05", "2016-01-01 12:12:12.0") t2, _ := time.Parse("2006-01-02 15:04:05", "2016-01-01 18:19:20.0")
I would compare them using Format()
, but am not sure if that's the best way, especially when different timezones are at play.
if t1.Format("2006-01-02") == t2.Format("2006-01-02") { // dates are equal, don't care about time. }
Is this a good approach, or am I missing something?
You can either truncate the time to the day:
t1.Truncate(24*time.Hour).Equal(t2.Truncate(24*time.Hour))
Or you can compare the year and day separately:
t1.Year() == t2.Year() && t1.YearDay() == t2.YearDay()
