Date

gorm.Model
Name string
Date datatypes.Date
}

// SELECT * FROM user_with_dates WHERE name = "jinzhu" AND date = "2020-07-17 00:00:00" ORDER BY `user_with_dates`.`id` LIMIT 1
Time
MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQLServer are supported.
Time with nanoseconds is supported for some databases which support for time with fractional second scale.
import "gorm.io/datatypes"
type UserWithTime struct {
gorm.Model
Name string
Time datatypes.Time
}
user := UserWithTime{Name: "jinzhu", Time: datatypes.NewTime(1, 2, 3, 0)}
DB.Create(&user)
// INSERT INTO `user_with_times` (`name`,`time`) VALUES ("jinzhu","01:02:03")
DB.First(&result, "name = ? AND time = ?", "jinzhu", datatypes.NewTime(1, 2, 3, 0))
// SELECT * FROM user_with_times WHERE name = "jinzhu" AND time = "01:02:03" ORDER BY `user_with_times`.`id` LIMIT 1
NOTE: If the current using database is SQLite, the field column type is defined as TEXT
type
when GORM AutoMigrate because SQLite doesn't have time type.
