time.Duration
converts a given number into a time.Duration
structure so you can access its fields. E.g. you can perform time operations on the returned time.Duration
value:
{{ printf "There are %.0f seconds in one day." (duration "hour" 24).Seconds }}
<!-- Output: There are 86400 seconds in one day. -->
Make your code simpler to understand by using a chained pipeline:
{{ mul 7.75 60 | duration "minute" }} → 7h45m0s
{{ mul 120 60 | mul 1000 | duration "millisecond" }} → 2h0m0s
You have to specify a time unit for the number given to the function. Valid time units are:
