[Solved] Cannot convert time.Now() to a string

by


does anyone know what that’s about? I am trying to convert an int to a string here.

Time type is not equivalent to an int. If your need is a string representation, type Time has a String() method.

Sample code below (also available as a runnable Go Playground snippet):

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

// Nearby whatever
type Nearby struct {
    id          int
    me          int
    you         int
    contactTime string
}

func main() {
    s1 := Nearby{
        id:          1,
        me:          1,
        you:         2,
        contactTime: time.Now().String(), // <-- type Time has a String() method
    }

    fmt.Printf("%+v", s1)

}

Hope this helps. Cheers,
