Get the first and last day of current month in Go/Golang?

Question

I\'m trying to get the first and last day of the current month. You can add days and hours but not the month, which I was thinking of subtracting one day from the next month to

Answer 1

Package time

import "time" 

func Date

func Date(year int, month Month, day, hour, min, sec, nsec int, loc *Location) Time

Date returns the Time corresponding to

yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss + nsec nanoseconds

in the appropriate zone for that time in the given location.

The month, day, hour, min, sec, and nsec values may be outside their usual ranges and will be normalized during the conversion. For example, October 32 converts to November 1.

A daylight savings time transition skips or repeats times. For example, in the United States, March 13, 2011 2:15am never occurred, while November 6, 2011 1:15am occurred twice. In such cases, the choice of time zone, and therefore the time, is not well-defined. Date returns a time that is correct in one of the two zones involved in the transition, but it does not guarantee which.

Date panics if loc is nil.

Month and day values outside their usual ranges will be normalized. For example, for the first and last day of the month time interval,

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "os"
    "time"
)

func monthInterval(t time.Time) (firstDay, lastDay time.Time) {
    y, m, _ := t.Date()
    loc := t.Location()
    firstDay = time.Date(y, m, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, loc)
    lastDay = time.Date(y, m+1, 1, 0, 0, 0, -1, loc)
    return firstDay, lastDay
}

func main() {
    t := time.Now()
    fmt.Println(t.Round(0))
    first, last := monthInterval(t)
    fmt.Println(first)
    fmt.Println(last)

    dstLoc, err := time.LoadLocation("America/Los_Angeles")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
        return
    }
    // Sunday, March 12, 2017, 2:00:00 am to Sunday, March 12, 2017, 3:00:00 am
    dstStart := time.Date(2017, 03, 12, 2+1, 0, 0, 0, dstLoc)
    // Sunday, November 5, 2017, 2:00:00 am to Sunday, November 5, 2017, 1:00:00 am
    dstEnd := time.Date(2017, 11, 5, 2-1, 0, 0, 0, dstLoc)
    t = dstStart
    fmt.Println()
    fmt.Println(t)
    first, last = monthInterval(t)
    fmt.Println(first)
    fmt.Println(last)
    t = dstEnd.Add(time.Hour)
    fmt.Println()
    fmt.Println(t)
    first, last = monthInterval(t)
    fmt.Println(first)
    fmt.Println(last)
}

Output:

2017-10-27 05:45:08.197312082 -0400 EDT
