Package provides parsing of duration information encoded in string compliant with format described byISO 8601 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations).

OnlyPnYnMnDTnHnMnS andPnW formats are parsed by the package (no suppport for bothPYYYYMMDDThhmmss andP[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]T[hh]:[mm]:[ss]).

Package can not parse values with fractions (only integer values).

If parsing is successfull (no error), use following result struct methods to access intrger values of duration components:

• Years()
• Months()
• Days()
• Weeks()
• Hours()
• Minutes()
• Seconds()

package mainimport ("fmt""github.com/boolproof/p6y")funcmain() {d,err:=p6y.NewDuration("P7Y5DT12H")iferr==nil {fmt.Printf("This will take %d years, %d months,"+"%d days and %d hours\n",d.Years(),d.Months(),d.Days(),d.Hours())//outputs: "This will take 7 years, 0 months, 5 days and 12 hours"}else {fmt.Println(err.Error())}}
