Getting started

1- Import the package ptime. Most of the time you need to import time and fmt packages, too.

import (
    ptime "github.com/yaa110/go-persian-calendar"
    "time"
    "fmt"
)

2- Convert Gregorian calendar to Persian calendar.

// Create a new instance of time.Time
var t time.Time = time.Date(2016, time.January, 1, 12, 1, 1, 0, ptime.Iran())

// Get a new instance of ptime.Time using time.Time
pt := ptime.New(t)

// Get the date in Persian calendar
fmt.Println(pt.Date()) // output: 1394 دی 11

3- Convert Persian calendar to Gregorian calendar.

// Create a new instance of ptime.Time
var pt ptime.Time = ptime.Date(1394, ptime.Mehr, 2, 12, 59, 59, 0, ptime.Iran())

// Get a new instance of time.Time
t := pt.Time()

// Get the date in Gregorian calendar
fmt.Println(t.Date()) // output: 2015 September 24

4- Get the current time.

// Get a new instance of ptime.Time representing the current time
pt := ptime.Now(ptime.Iran())

// Get year, month, day
fmt.Println(pt.Date()) // output: 1394 بهمن 11
fmt.Println(pt.Year(), pt.Month(), pt.Day()) // output: 1394 بهمن 11

// Get hour, minute, second
fmt.Println(pt.Clock()) // output: 21 54 30
fmt.Println(pt.Hour(), pt.Minute(), pt.Second()) // output: 21 54 30

// Get Unix timestamp (the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 UTC)
fmt.Println(pt.Unix()) // output: 1454277270

// Get yesterday, today and tomorrow
fmt.Println(pt.Yesterday().Weekday()) // output: شنبه
fmt.Println(pt.Weekday()) // output: یک‌شنبه
fmt.Println(pt.Tomorrow().Weekday()) // output: دوشنبه

// Get First and last day of week
fmt.Println(pt.FirstWeekDay().Date()) // output: 1394 بهمن 10
fmt.Println(pt.LastWeekday().Date()) // output: 1394 بهمن 16

// Get First and last day of month
fmt.Println(pt.FirstMonthDay().Weekday()) // output: پنج‌شنبه
fmt.Println(pt.LastMonthDay().Weekday()) // output: جمعه

// Get First and last day of year
fmt.Println(pt.FirstYearDay().Weekday()) // output: شنبه
fmt.Println(pt.LastYearDay().Weekday()) // output: شنبه

// Get the week of month
fmt.Println(pt.MonthWeek()) // output: 3

// Get the week of year
fmt.Println(pt.YearWeek()) // output: 46

// Get the number of remaining weeks of the year
fmt.Println(pt.RYearWeek()) // output: 6

5- Format the time.

// Get a new instance of ptime.Time using Unix timestamp
pt := ptime.Unix(1454277270, 0, ptime.Iran())

pt.Format("yyyy/MM/dd E hh:mm:ss a") // output: 1394/11/11 یک‌شنبه 09:54:30 ب.ظ
