Automatic Time pars

[almgwary]

i am sending time in time.RFC3339 format it has the following problem with automatic binding.

my modle

type MyModel struct {
	From   time.Time   `form:"from" json:"from"`
}

binding

var myModel MyModel 
context.Bind(&myModel)

error "parsing time ""2017-08-16P15:00:00+00:00"" as ""2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00"": cannot parse "P15:00:00+00:00"" as "T""

How to setup automatic binding to use format time.RFC3339 ?
i cannot find any middle-ware configuration

@almgwary Could you please post your example code?
Because json accepted RFC 3339 in Go if you binding with json content type. Like following date-string:

2002-10-02T10:00:00-05:00

2002-10-02T15:00:00Z

2002-10-02T15:00:00.05Z

I also encountered a similar problem, please check out my example code.

In the example code, I need to manually add time.RFC3339 format to time_format field tag, otherwise Gin will throw an error: Blank time format.

But adding these field tag makes my struct definition cumbersome:

type struct Question {
    Title string `json:"title" form:"title"`
    CreatedAt time.Time `json:"createdAt" form:"createdAt" time_format:"2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00"`
}

NOTE: "2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00" is just the time.RFC3339

Any workarounds to solve this problem?

In fact, I am confused by the same problem. How did you solved this problems?
