## Why quando? Comparison to time.Time
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Use quando
|
||||
|
||||
Use **quando** when you need:
|
||||
- **Month-aware arithmetic**: `Add(1, Months)` handles month-end overflow
|
||||
- **Business logic**: "Next Friday", "End of Quarter", ISO week numbers
|
||||
- **Human-readable durations**: "2 years, 3 months, 5 days"
|
||||
- **Fluent API**: Method chaining for complex date calculations
|
||||
- **Automatic parsing**: Detect ISO, EU, US formats automatically
|
||||
- **i18n formatting**: Multilingual date formatting (EN, DE, more coming)
|
||||
|
||||
Use **time.Time** when you need:
|
||||
- Simple clock arithmetic (add 24 hours)
|
||||
- High-precision timestamps (nanoseconds matter)
|
||||
- Minimal dependencies (quando is stdlib-only but adds abstraction)
|
||||
- Low-level system operations
|
||||
|
||||
### Side-by-Side Comparison
|
||||
|
||||
#### Month Arithmetic with Overflow
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// stdlib: Complex and error-prone
|
||||
t := time.Date(2026, 1, 31, 12, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)
|
||||
// Add 1 month manually - need to handle overflow
|
||||
nextMonth := t.AddDate(0, 1, 0) // March 3! ❌ Unexpected
|
||||
|
||||
// quando: Intuitive and correct
|
||||
date := quando.From(time.Date(2026, 1, 31, 12, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC))
|
||||
nextMonth := date.Add(1, quando.Months) // Feb 28 ✅ Expected
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Finding "Next Friday"
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// stdlib: Manual calculation required
|
||||
t := time.Now()
|
||||
daysUntilFriday := (int(time.Friday) - int(t.Weekday()) + 7) % 7
|
||||
if daysUntilFriday == 0 {
|
||||
daysUntilFriday = 7 // Never return today
|
||||
}
|
||||
nextFriday := t.AddDate(0, 0, daysUntilFriday)
|
||||
|
||||
// quando: One method call
|
||||
nextFriday := quando.Now().Next(time.Friday)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Human-Readable Duration
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// stdlib: No built-in solution, must implement yourself
|
||||
start := time.Date(2026, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)
|
||||
end := time.Date(2028, 3, 15, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)
|
||||
duration := end.Sub(start)
|
||||
// duration is just time.Duration (2y3m15d shown as "19480h0m0s") ❌
|
||||
|
||||
// quando: Built-in human formatting
|
||||
duration := quando.Diff(start, end)
|
||||
fmt.Println(duration.Human()) // "2 years, 2 months, 14 days" ✅
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Start of Week (Monday)
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// stdlib: Manual calculation
|
||||
t := time.Now()
|
||||
weekday := int(t.Weekday())
|
||||
if weekday == 0 { // Sunday
|
||||
weekday = 7
|
||||
}
|
||||
daysToMonday := weekday - 1
|
||||
startOfWeek := t.AddDate(0, 0, -daysToMonday)
|
||||
startOfWeek = time.Date(startOfWeek.Year(), startOfWeek.Month(),
|
||||
startOfWeek.Day(), 0, 0, 0, 0, startOfWeek.Location())
|
||||
|
||||
// quando: One method call
|
||||
startOfWeek := quando.Now().StartOf(quando.Week)
|
||||
```

||||

||||

**Key Performance Features:**
|
||||
- Zero allocations for arithmetic operations (Add, Sub)

||||
- Zero allocations for snap operations (StartOf, EndOf, Next, Prev)
|
||||
- Zero allocations for date inspection (WeekNumber, Quarter, etc.)
|
||||
- Minimal allocations for formatting (1-3 per operation)
|
||||
- Immutable design enables safe concurrent use
|
||||
|
||||
**Run benchmarks:**
|
||||
