Dart package for parsing and generating ISO 8601 duration strings, to and from Dart's Duration instances.

Usage

Duration? duration1 = tryParseIso8601Duration('PT1H24M');
print(duration1); // Prints `1:24:00.000000`
print(duration1?.toIso8601String()); // Prints `PT1H24M`

final duration2 = tryParseIso8601Duration('-P1W4DT22H8.5M');
print(duration2); // Prints `-286:08:30.000000`
print(duration2?.toIso8601String()); // Prints `-P1W4DT22H8M30S`

Duration duration3 = parseIso8601Duration('PT0,8S');
print(duration3); // Prints `0:00:00.800000`
print(duration3.toIso8601String()); // Prints `PT0.8S`

Additional information

Implements a subset of the ISO 8601 Durations syntax as described in Wikipedia (8/2023).

• Minus sign is only allowed in the beginning of the duration string, e.g. -PT1H.
• Only one decimal fraction is allowed and only in the last component, e.g. PT1H34.5M or PT1H34,5M
• Number of days per month and year are fixed, 30 and 365 days respectively.
• Combined date and time representations, e.g. P0003-06-04T12:30:05, are not supported.
• When generating duration strings, the largest unit in the returned string is weeks.
