Convert AtTime back to time.Time

[Nikurasuu]

Hello everyone,

sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there any way to convert a AtTime type back to a time.Time type?

The situation is the following:
I save the time and weekday configuration for my jobs in the following struct:

type Config struct {
	times    gocron.AtTimes
	weekdays gocron.Weekdays
}

Now I want to return the times and weekdays as a json object, therefore I need to convert the AtTime from the AtTimes back to time.Time.
I found a not exported function to do this, but this is not accessible in other packages, these are all the functions I found about AtTime:

type atTime struct {
	hours, minutes, seconds uint
}

func (a atTime) time(location *time.Location) time.Time {
	return time.Date(0, 0, 0, int(a.hours), int(a.minutes), int(a.seconds), 0, location)
}

// AtTime defines a function that returns the internal atTime
type AtTime func() atTime

// NewAtTime provide the hours, minutes and seconds at which
// the job should be run
func NewAtTime(hours, minutes, seconds uint) AtTime {
	return func() atTime {
		return atTime{hours: hours, minutes: minutes, seconds: seconds}
	}
}

// AtTimes define a list of AtTime
type AtTimes func() []AtTime

This is sort of what I want to do:

func reverseParseTimes(atTimes gocron.AtTimes) []string {
	var times []string
	for _, atTimeFunc := range atTimes() {
		atTime := atTimeFunc()
		location, _ := time.LoadLocation("UTC")
		timeStr := atTime.time(location).Format("15:04:05")
		times = append(times, timeStr)
	}
	return times
}

Is the functionality of converting AtTimes back something that is missing or am I missing something?

@Nikurasuu how does this look? #806
