time.ParseDuration

Usage

The time.ParseDuration function returns a time.Duration value by parsing the given duration string. Use any of the Duration methods with the returned value.

The DURATION is a sequence of decimal numbers, each with an optional fraction and a unit suffix, such as 300ms, -1.5h, or 2h45m. Precede the sequence with a minus sign to create a negative duration. Valid units are ns, us or µs, ms, s, m, and h.

Examples

{{ time.ParseDuration "2h45m" }} → 2h45m0s
{{ time.ParseDuration "-1.5h" }} → -1h30m0s
{{ time.ParseDuration "300ms" }} → 300ms

Calling a method on the returned value:

{{ (time.ParseDuration "24h").Seconds }} → 86400
