Extract Timestamp from ULID

See more ULID/UUID Examples

Extract the date/time from a ULID.

Important: Chilkat's ULID functionality was introduced in v9.5.0.94.

Go

    success := false

    ulid := "01GRH14AA82EY9A7S99YYF2QDY"

    dt := chilkat.NewCkDateTime()

    // Unix timestamps stored in ULIDs should be UTC...
    bLocal := false
    // Set the CkDateTime from the timestamp contained in the ULID
    success = dt.SetFromUlid(bLocal,ulid)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println("ULID was not valid.")
        dt.DisposeCkDateTime()
        return
    }

    // You can now get the date/time in any desired format.
    // For example:
    fmt.Println("Unix timestamp = ", dt.GetAsUnixTime(bLocal))
    fmt.Println("RFC822 = ", *dt.GetAsRfc822(bLocal))
    fmt.Println("Timestamp = ", *dt.GetAsTimestamp(bLocal))

    // Sample output:

    // Unix timestamp = 1675608861
    // RFC822 = Sun, 05 Feb 2023 14:54:21 GMT
    // Timestamp = 2023-02-05T14:54:21Z

    dt.DisposeCkDateTime()
