Date Functions

now

The current date/time. Use this in conjunction with other date functions.

date

The date function formats a date.

Format the date to YEAR-MONTH-DAY:

now | date "2006-01-02"

Date formatting in Go is a little bit different.

In short, take this as the base date:

Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006

Write it in the format you want. Above, 2006-01-02 is the same date, but in the format we want.

dateInZone

Same as date, but with a timezone.

date "2006-01-02" (now) "UTC"

dateModify

The dateModify takes a modification and a date and returns the timestamp.

Subtract an hour and thirty minutes from the current time:

now | date_modify "-1.5h"

htmlDate

The htmlDate function formates a date for inserting into an HTML date picker input field.

now | htmlDate

htmlDateInZone

Same as htmlDate, but with a timezone.

htmlDate (now) "UTC"
