How to create a date range in the format of YYYY-MM-DD from start to end in Golang?

Let’s say our inputs are start_date=2022-01-01 and end_date=2022-01-05. How I can get an input like below:

2022-01-01
2022-01-02
2022-01-03
2022-01-04

I’m able to parse start and end using time.Parse and get the days in between using .Sub and then iterating over the range and create string dates.
I was wondering if there is any method or better solution for date range creation in Go?

>Solution :

You can use:

const (
    layout = "2006-01-02"
)

func main() {
    startDate, _ := time.Parse(layout, "2022-01-01")
    endDate, _ := time.Parse(layout, "2022-01-05")

    for date := startDate; date.Before(endDate); date = date.AddDate(0, 0, 1) {
        fmt.Println(date.Format(layout))
    }
}

This will give you:

2022-01-01
2022-01-02
2022-01-03
2022-01-04
