GetDuration

Overview

GetDuration parses a duration environment variable.

Part of the env package — Node.js analog: dotenv / process.env.

Signature

func GetDuration(key string, def time.Duration) (time.Duration, error)

Compare: Node.js · Standard Go · gox

Node.js

// Typical dotenv / process.env pattern in Node.js

Standard Go

v := os.Getenv("KEY")
if v == "" {
    v = "default"
}

gox

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/env"

timeout, err := env.GetDuration("TIMEOUT", time.Second)

Example

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/env"

timeout, err := env.GetDuration("TIMEOUT", time.Second)

Tips

Call Load() once at startup, then use typed getters instead of parsing strings manually.

Standard library alternative

Use the standard library directly:

v := os.Getenv("KEY")
if v == "" {
    v = "default"
}
