Quick Answer

DevToolHQ's epoch converter works great alongside Go. Use it to quickly epoch converter during development, then integrate the pattern into your Go codebase using the code example below.

Use Cases in Go

  • 1.Convert Unix timestamps from APIs to display dates
  • 2.Store and compare timestamps across time zones
  • 3.Calculate time differences for rate limiting
  • 4.Display "time ago" labels in Go views

Go Code Example

Go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    // Current Unix timestamp
    now := time.Now().Unix()
    fmt.Println(now)

    // Convert epoch to time
    epoch := int64(1700000000)
    t := time.Unix(epoch, 0).UTC()
    fmt.Println(t.Format(time.RFC3339)) // 2023-11-14T22:13:20Z

    // Parse a date string to epoch
    parsed, _ := time.Parse("2006-01-02", "2026-01-01")
    fmt.Println(parsed.Unix())

    // Time difference
    diff := time.Since(t)
    fmt.Printf("%.0f days ago
", diff.Hours()/24)
}
