toDateTime function

DateTime toDateTime(dynamic object, { dynamic mapKey, int? listIndex, String? format, String? locale, bool autoDetectFormat = false, bool useCurrentLocale = false, bool utc = false, DateTime? defaultValue, })

Attempts to convert an object to a bool, or returns null if the object is null or conversion is not applicable. mirroring the same static method in the ConvertObject, providing alternative easy less code usage options.

• Returns true if the object is a bool and equal to true.
• Returns true if the object is a String and equal to 'yes' or 'true' (case-insensitive).
• Returns null for other types or if the object is null.

object The object to be converted to a bool. mapKey (Optional) Specifies the key to extract values from a Map object. listIndex (Optional) Specifies the index to extract elements from a List object.

Returns a bool if conversion is applicable, otherwise null.

Example usage:

final object1 = true;
final bool1 = tryToBool(object1); // true

final object2 = 'yes';
final bool2 = tryToBool(object2); // true

final object3 = 10;
final bool3 = tryToBool(object3); // null

final object4 = false;
final bool4 = tryToBool(object4); // false

final object5 = 'no';
final bool5 = tryToBool(object5); // false

final object6 = null;
final bool6 = tryToBool(object6); // null

Implementation

DateTime toDateTime(
  dynamic object, {
  dynamic mapKey,
  int? listIndex,
  String? format,
  String? locale,
  bool autoDetectFormat = false,
  bool useCurrentLocale = false,
  bool utc = false,
  DateTime? defaultValue,
}) =>
    ConvertObject.toDateTime(
      object,
      mapKey: mapKey,
      listIndex: listIndex,
      format: format,
      locale: locale,
      autoDetectFormat: autoDetectFormat,
      useCurrentLocale: useCurrentLocale,
      utc: utc,
      defaultValue: defaultValue,
    );
