Description
I use Go templates to produce machine-readable files, and one of the challenges I face is producing amounts of time as seconds and milliseconds. I want to write values like "5 minutes" or "30 seconds" for the benefit of file maintainers and have a computer do the math to turn them into numbers.
The
toDuration
function satisfies my use case and seems valuable to show in the documentation.Changes
One more example for the
toDuration
function.Fixes
