Adhan Dart / Flutter #








Adhan Dart is a well tested and well documented library for calculating Islamic prayer times. Adhan Dart is written to
be compatible with Dart and Dart Native / Flutter / Android / iOS / Web etc... devices of all api versions. It has a
small method overhead, and has no external dependencies.
All astronomical calculations are high precision equations directly from the
book “Astronomical Algorithms” by Jean Meeus. This book is recommended by the
Astronomical Applications Department of the U.S. Naval Observatory and the Earth System Research Laboratory of the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Implementations of Adhan in other languages can be found in the parent repo Adhan
.
Usage #
A simple usage example:
import 'package:adhan/adhan.dart';

main() {
print('My Prayer Times');
final myCoordinates = Coordinates(23.9088, 89.1220); // Replace with your own location lat, lng.
final params = CalculationMethod.karachi.getParameters();
params.madhab = Madhab.hanafi;
final prayerTimes = PrayerTimes.today(myCoordinates, params);

print("---Today's Prayer Times in Your Local Timezone(${prayerTimes.fajr.timeZoneName})---");
print(DateFormat.jm().format(prayerTimes.fajr));
print(DateFormat.jm().format(prayerTimes.sunrise));
print(DateFormat.jm().format(prayerTimes.dhuhr));
print(DateFormat.jm().format(prayerTimes.asr));
print(DateFormat.jm().format(prayerTimes.maghrib));
print(DateFormat.jm().format(prayerTimes.isha));

print('---');

// Custom Timezone Usage. (Most of you won't need this).
print('NewYork Prayer Times');
final newYork = Coordinates(35.7750, -78.6336);
final nyUtcOffset = Duration(hours: -4);
final nyDate = DateComponents(2015, 7, 12);
final nyParams = CalculationMethod.north_america.getParameters();
nyParams.madhab = Madhab.hanafi;
final nyPrayerTimes = PrayerTimes(newYork, nyDate, nyParams, utcOffset: nyUtcOffset);

print(nyPrayerTimes.fajr.timeZoneName);
print(DateFormat.jm().format(nyPrayerTimes.fajr));
print(DateFormat.jm().format(nyPrayerTimes.sunrise));
print(DateFormat.jm().format(nyPrayerTimes.dhuhr));
print(DateFormat.jm().format(nyPrayerTimes.asr));
print(DateFormat.jm().format(nyPrayerTimes.maghrib));
print(DateFormat.jm().format(nyPrayerTimes.isha));
}

also, you can run pub run adhan to test quickly based on Hanafi, Karachi parameters.
*alternatively, without installing in project, you can run pub global activate adhan and then run pub global run adhan to test quickly.
Initialization parameters #
Coordinates
Create a Coordinates object with the latitude and longitude for the location you want prayer times for.
final coordinates = new Coordinates(35.78056, -78.6389);

/// Coordinates Validation Support [Optional],
/// to Support validation, use [validate: true] param, default: false

final validateTrue = new Coordinates(91.78056, -78.6389, validate: true); // Invalid Coordinates, will throw ArgumentError

final validateFalse = new Coordinates(91.78056, -78.6389, validate: false); // Invalid Coordinates, won't throw ArgumentError
copied to clipboard
Date
The date parameter passed in should be an instance of the DateComponents object. The year, month, and day values need to be populated. All other values will be ignored. The year, month and day values should be for the local date that you want prayer times for. These date values are expected to be for the Gregorian calendar. There's also a convenience method for converting a DateTime to DateComponents.
final date = DateComponents(2015, 11, 1);
// or
final date = DateComponents.from(DateTime.now());

Calculation parameters
The rest of the needed information is contained within the CalculationParameters class. Instead of manually initializing this class, it is recommended to use one of the pre-populated instances in the CalculationMethod class. You can then further customize the calculation parameters if needed.
final params = CalculationMethod.muslim_world_league.getParameters();
params.madhab = Madhab.hanafi;
params.adjustments.fajr = 2;

Prayer Times #
Once the PrayerTimes object has been initialized it will contain values for all five prayer times and the time for sunrise. The prayer times will be DateTime object instances initialized with Local values (converted from UTC via .toLocal method). To display these times for a different timezone than local a UTC Offset should be used, for example Duration.
final kushtiaUtcOffset = Duration(hours: 6);
final newYorkUtcOffset = Duration(hours: -4);
// then pass your offset to PrayerTimes like this:
final prayerTimes = PrayerTimes(coordinates, date, params, utcOffset: newYorkUtcOffset);
