How can I make Timestamp Protobuff back to my timezone since the github version of timestamp is deprecated?

Alright so I just realized something when I generate new protobuff file using:

protoc my_file.proto --go_out=./

My .proto struct is somehow looks like:

message MyRequest {
 google.protobuf.Timestamp my_time = 1;
}

If I use the protoc command somewhere around in 2021 I would get:

import timestamp "github.com/golang/protobuf/ptypes/timestamp"

type MyRequest struct {
    MyTime *timestamp.Timestamp `protobuf:"bytes,1,opt,name=my_time,json=myTime,proto3" json:"my_time,omitempty"`
}

But now I 'll get:

import timestamppb "google.golang.org/protobuf/types/known/timestamppb"
    
type MyRequest struct {
    MyTime *timestamppb.Timestamp `protobuf:"bytes,1,opt,name=my_time,json=myTime,proto3" json:"my_time,omitempty"`
}

The main problem is that the old struct presents MyTime in my timezone, but the new one converts it to UTC+0. Anyone know how to solve this problem?

You can see this method is call .UTC() method.

Looking from that method, you can create custom function to return time for your time zone.

this is the example :

func ForMyTimeZone(x *timestamppb.Timestamp) time.Time {
    return time.Unix(int64(x.GetSeconds()), int64(x.GetNanos()))
}
