# Date Time
|
|
|
|
Various operators for parsing and manipulating dates.
|
|
|
|
## Date time formattings
|
|
This uses Golang's built in time library for parsing and formatting date times.
|
|
|
|
When not specified, the RFC3339 standard is assumed `2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00` for parsing.
|
|
|
|
To specify a custom parsing format, use the `with_dtf` operator. The first parameter sets the datetime parsing format for the expression in the second parameter. The expression can be any valid `yq` expression tree.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq 'with_dtf("myformat"; .a + "3h" | tz("Australia/Melbourne"))'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the [library docs](https://pkg.go.dev/time#pkg-constants) for examples of formatting options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Timezones
|
|
This uses Golang's built in LoadLocation function to parse timezones strings. See the [library docs](https://pkg.go.dev/time#LoadLocation) for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Durations
|
|
Durations are parsed using Golang's built in [ParseDuration](https://pkg.go.dev/time#ParseDuration) function.
|
|
|
|
You can add durations to time using the `+` operator.
