date_type

Description:

date type

A workaround for a date object without time. Since dart only has DateTime.
Usage #
This is generally a wrapper around DateTime in dart, so it has all the methods DateTime has.
For example:
final now = Date.now();
final berlinWallFell = Date(1989, 11, 9);
final moonLanding = Date.parse('1969-07-20');

You can use properties to get the individual units of a DateTime object.
print(berlinWallFell.year); // 1989
print(berlinWallFell.month); // 11
print(berlinWallFell.day); // 9

Comparing Date objects #
The Date class contains methods for comparing Date chronologically, such as isAfter, isBefore, and isAtSameMomentAs.
print(berlinWallFell.isAfter(moonLanding)); // true
print(berlinWallFell.isBefore(moonLanding)); // false
print(dDay.isAtSameMomentAs(localDay)); // true

Using Date with Duration #
Use the add and subtract methods with a Duration object to create a Date object based on another. For example, to find the point in time that is 36 hours after now, you can write:
final now = Date.now();
final later = now.add(const Duration(hours: 36));

To find out how much time is between two Date objects use difference, which returns a Duration object:
final difference = berlinWallFell.difference(moonLanding);
print(difference.inDays); // 7416

Methods #
add(Duration duration) → Date #
Returns a new Date instance with duration added to this.
compareTo(Date other) → int #

difference(Date other) → Duration #
Returns a Duration with the difference when subtracting other from this.
isAfter(Date other) → bool #
Returns true if this occurs after other.
isAtSameMomentAs(Date other) → bool #
Returns true if this occurs at the same moment as other.
isBefore(Date other) → bool #
Returns true if this occurs before other.
subtract(Duration duration) → Date #
Returns a new Date instance with duration subtracted from this.
toString() → String #
Returns a human-readable string for this instance
Static Methods #
