This package allows to get a time.Duration from a string. The string can be a string retorned for time.Duration or a similar string with weeks or days too!.
go get github.com/xhit/go-str2duration/v2Go String To Duration supports this strings conversions to duration:
- All strings returned in time.Duration String.
- A string more readable like 1w2d6h3ns (1 week 2 days 6 hours and 3 nanoseconds).
ยตsandusare microsecond.
It's the same time.ParseDuration standard function in Go, but with days and week support.
Note: a day is 24 hour.
If you don't need days and weeks, use time.ParseDuration.

{"1ยตs", time.Duration(time.Microsecond)},
{"1us", time.Duration(time.Microsecond)},
{"1ns", time.Duration(time.Nanosecond)},
{"4.000000001s", time.Duration(4*time.Second + time.Nanosecond)},
{"1h0m4.000000001s", time.Duration(time.Hour + 4*time.Second + time.Nanosecond)},
{"1h1m0.01s", time.Duration(61*time.Minute + 10*time.Millisecond)},
{"1h1m0.123456789s", time.Duration(61*time.Minute + 123456789*time.Nanosecond)},
{"1.00002ms", time.Duration(time.Millisecond + 20*time.Nanosecond)},
{"1.00000002s", time.Duration(time.Second + 20*time.Nanosecond)},
{"693ns", time.Duration(693 * time.Nanosecond)},
//This times aren't returned with time.Duration string, but are easily readable and can be parsed too!
{"1ms1ns", time.Duration(time.Millisecond + 1*time.Nanosecond)},
{"1s20ns", time.Duration(time.Second + 20*time.Nanosecond)},
{"60h8ms", time.Duration(60*time.Hour + 8*time.Millisecond)},
{"96h63s", time.Duration(96*time.Hour + 63*time.Second)},
//And works with days and weeks!
{"2d3s96ns", time.Duration(48*time.Hour + 3*time.Second + 96*time.Nanosecond)},
{"1w2d3s96ns", time.Duration(168*time.Hour + 48*time.Hour + 3*time.Second + 96*time.Nanosecond)},
{"10s1us693ns", time.Duration(10*time.Second + time.Microsecond + 693*time.Nanosecond)},
} {
durationFromString, err := str2duration.ParseDuration(tt.dur)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
//Check if expected time is the time returned by the parser
} else if tt.expected != durationFromString {
fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("index %d -> in: %s returned: %s\tnot equal to %s", i, tt.dur, durationFromString.String(), tt.expected.String()))
}else{
fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("index %d -> in: %s parsed succesfully", i, tt.dur))
}
}
}Also, you can convert to string the duration using String(t time.Duration) function. This support weeks and days and not return the ugly decimals from golang standard t.String() function. Units with 0 values aren't returned. For example: 1d1ms means 1 day 1 millisecond.
