I'm looking for a way to extract time from time.Time as time.Duration.
For instance, "2022-11-25 10:07:40.1242844 0900 JST"(time.Time) to "10h7m40s"(time.Duration)
func main() {
currentTime := time.Now()
d, err := time.ParseDuration(currentTime.Format("15h04m05s"))
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
fmt.Print(d.String())
// 9h57m54s
}
This code works, but it once converts time to string and then converts to duration, which I think it is roundabout, and I don't like it. Is there a better way to write this code?

Another solution is to truncate the current time to the start of day, then use time.Since()
to return a Duration
:
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
now := time.Now()
today := time.Date(now.Year(), now.Month(), now.Day(), 0, 0, 0, 0, now.Location())
fmt.Println(time.Since(today))
}
