date_n_time 1.0.1

Dart Extension Package for working with Dates without Times.

date_n_time

A dart package extending DateTime to ease date or time representation and calculation.

When only needing to work with dates and/or times, using dart's DateTime can be tricky.
That is because, unless specifically constructed using .utc(),
it will take the timezone of the system, meaning additions and subtractions of time
become subject to the rules of the timezone the application is running in.

This package is heavily inspired by Java's solution to this: java.time.
A delicate balance has been searched between dart's existing classes and new ones.
