Convert UTC to “local” time in Go

by

Keep in mind that the playground has the time set to 2009-11-10 23:00:00 +0000 UTC, so it is working.

The proper way is to use time.LoadLocation though, here’s an example:

var countryTz = map[string]string{
    "Hungary": "Europe/Budapest",
    "Egypt":   "Africa/Cairo",
}

func timeIn(name string) time.Time {
    loc, err := time.LoadLocation(countryTz[name])
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    return time.Now().In(loc)
}

func main() {
    utc := time.Now().UTC().Format("15:04")
    hun := timeIn("Hungary").Format("15:04")
    eg := timeIn("Egypt").Format("15:04")
    fmt.Println(utc, hun, eg)
}
