## Time

Time and duration types use Go's time package library and its methods >
[https://golang.org/pkg/time/#time](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#Time) and also this although slightly different syntax
all applies here > [https://gobyexample.com/time](https://gobyexample.com/time).
Time and duration types use [Go's time package](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#Time). Go by Example lists [some examples
of using *time.Time*](https://gobyexample.com/time) in Go code, which can be referenced for similar use in YAGPDB's
templates.

Some time types in the data that Discord API functions return instead use the *discordgo.Timestamp* type. These can be
converted to *time.Time* with the `.Parse` method. These cases are mentioned in the type documentation on this page.
