timestamp
The timestamp package implements an alternative UTC type that encodes efficiently and safely on the client-side. Values use microsecond precision, the zero point is 1-1-1900 0:00 UTC. The encoding uses only 52 bits to fit safely in a IEEE double floating point value. This ensures compatibility with the Javascript number type.
There are a number of advantages timestamp has over using the official Time data type:
- straightforward, compact encoding as a single int64 or double in memory and storage
- due to always being UTC, no problems with timezones
- direct compatiblity with Javascript or any other programming language that can handle 64bit integers
- vendor-agnostic storage in databases as simple 64bit integer

Types ¶
type TS ¶ added in v1.1.0
type TS int64
TS encodes UTC time with microsecond resolution with a starting point of 1-1-1900 00:00 UTC
func DurationMS ¶
DurationMS creates a duration (offset) TS value from milliseconds
func (TS) Milliseconds ¶ added in v1.3.0
Milliseconds returns the absolute number of seconds since the base date (1/1/1900)
func (TS) Seconds ¶ added in v1.1.0
Seconds returns the absolute number of seconds since the base date (1/1/1900)
