subtract function

DateTime subtract({ required DateTime orig, required int amount, required String units, })

Subtracts given amount (amount) of given units (units) from given DateTime (orig).

Returns the modified DateTime.

Accepted units are:

• 'ms' (milliseconds)

• 's' (seconds)

• 'min' (minutes)

• 'h' (hours)

• 'd' (days)

• 'w' (weeks)

• 'mon' (months)

• 'y' (years)

Implementation

DateTime subtract(
    {required DateTime orig, required int amount, required String units}) {
  switch (units) {
    case 'ms':
      orig = orig.subtract(Duration(milliseconds: amount));
      break;
    case 's':
      orig = orig.subtract(Duration(seconds: amount));
      break;
    case 'min':
      orig = orig.subtract(Duration(minutes: amount));
      break;
    case 'h':
      orig = orig.subtract(Duration(hours: amount));
      break;
    case 'd':
      orig = orig.subtract(Duration(days: amount));
      break;
    case 'w':
      orig = orig.subtract(Duration(days: amount * 7));
      break;
    case 'mon':
      orig = _addMonths(orig, -amount);
      break;
    case 'y':
      orig = _addMonths(orig, -amount * 12);
      break;
    default:
      throw ArgumentError(
          'This unit is unsupported. See docs for supported units...');
  }
  return orig;
