如何从Golang的国家/地区代码中获取时区

Question

Iam newbie in Golang. Iam converting a function from PHP to Golang.

I want to get timezone from country code in Golang. It is similar this function in PHP

public static array DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers ([ int $what = DateTimeZone::ALL [, string $country = NULL ]] )

Which function have similar feature in Golang ?

Thanks all.

Answer 1

The timezone is accessible from time.LoadLocation(): example

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
    "log"
)

func main() {
    var ParisLocation, err = time.LoadLocation("Europe/Paris")
    if(err != nil) {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    fmt.Println(ParisLocation)
}

As seen in golang/go issue 21881, it won't work on Windows because $GOROOT/lib/time/zoneinfo.zip is not included by default, hence the need for projects like 4d63.com/tz.
