## Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hugo provides [functions] and [methods] to format, localize, parse, compare, and manipulate date/time values. Before you can do any of these with string representations of date/time values, you must first convert them to [`time.Time`] values using the `time.AsTime` function.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go-html-template
|
||
|
|
{{ $t := "2023-10-15T14:20:28-07:00" }}
|
||
|
|
{{ time.AsTime $t }} → 2023-10-15 14:20:28 -0700 PDT (time.Time)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Parsable strings
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As shown above, the first argument must be a *parsable* string representation of a date/time value. For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{{% include "functions/time/_common/parsable-date-time-strings.md" %}}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Time zones
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When the parsable string does not contain a time zone offset, you can do either of the following to assign a time zone other than Etc/UTC:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Provide a second argument to the `time.AsTime` function
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go-html-template
|
||
|
|
{{ time.AsTime "15 Oct 2023" "America/Chicago" }}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Set the default time zone in your site configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
|
||
|
|
timeZone = 'America/New_York'
|
||
|
|
{{< /code-toggle >}}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The order of precedence for determining the time zone is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. The time zone offset in the date/time string
|
||
|
|
2. The time zone provide as the second argument to the `time.AsTime` function
|
||
|
|
3. The time zone specified in your site configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The list of valid time zones may be system dependent, but should include `UTC`, `Local`, or any location in the [IANA Time Zone database].
