Using the timestamp flag is simple. Please refer to
|
|
[`time.Parse`](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#example_Parse) to get possible
|
|
formats.
|
|
|
|
<!-- {
|
|
"args": ["--meeting", "2019-08-12T15:04:05"],
|
|
"output": "2019\\-08\\-12 15\\:04\\:05 \\+0000 UTC"
|
|
} -->
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
"log"
|
|
"os"
|
|
|
|
"github.com/urfave/cli/v2"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
app := &cli.App{
|
|
Flags: []cli.Flag{
|
|
&cli.TimestampFlag{Name: "meeting", Layout: "2006-01-02T15:04:05"},
|
|
},
|
|
Action: func(cCtx *cli.Context) error {
|
|
fmt.Printf("%s", cCtx.Timestamp("meeting").String())
|
|
return nil
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
if err := app.Run(os.Args); err != nil {
|
|
log.Fatal(err)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In this example the flag could be used like this:
|
|
|
|
```sh-session
|
|
$ myapp --meeting 2019-08-12T15:04:05
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When the layout doesn't contain timezones, timestamp will render with UTC. To
|
|
change behavior, a default timezone can be provided with flag definition:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
app := &cli.App{
|
|
Flags: []cli.Flag{
|
|
&cli.TimestampFlag{Name: "meeting", Layout: "2006-01-02T15:04:05", Timezone: time.Local},
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(time.Local contains the system's local time zone.)
|
|
|
|
Side note: quotes may be necessary around the date depending on your layout (if
|
|
you have spaces for instance)
