For example, when building a site on October 15, 2023 in the America/Los_Angeles time zone:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go-html-template
|
||
|
|
{{ time.Now }}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This produces a `time.Time` value, with a string representation such as:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```text
|
||
|
|
2023-10-15 12:59:28.337140706 -0700 PDT m=+0.041752605
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To format and [localize] the value, pass it through the [`time.Format`] function:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go-html-template
|
||
|
|
{{ time.Now | time.Format "Jan 2006" }} → Oct 2023
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `time.Now` function returns a `time.Time` value, so you can chain any of the [time methods] to the resulting value. For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go-html-template
|
||
|
|
{{ time.Now.Year }} → 2023 (int)
|
||
|
|
{{ time.Now.Weekday.String }} → Sunday
|
||
|
|
{{ time.Now.Month.String }} → October
|
||
|
|
{{ time.Now.Unix }} → 1697400955 (int64)
|
||
|
|
```
