dateable 1.0.0

A Dart package to help you with managing dates easily.

📆 Date

A Dart package to help you with managing dates easily. Calendar correctness is guaranteed by the usage of DateTime 's system under the hood.

⚙️ Import

In your .dart files:

import 'package:dateable/dateable.dart';

⚗️ Usage

👷 Constructors:

Variety of different constructors allows for great flexibility and interoperability with other types.

final date = Date(31, 12, 2019);
final date = Date.fromDateTime(DateTime(2019, 12, 31, 19, 12)); // Time of day is truncated
final date = Date.parseIso8601('2019-12-31T18:23:48.956871'); // Time of day is truncated
final date = Date.parse('31122019');

And a handy DateTime extension:

final date = DateTime(2019, 12, 31, 13, 26).toDate(); // Time of day is truncated

All of the above result in the same date object!

📅 Getters:

There are three getters. Simple and easy.

final date = Date(11, 3, 2002);
print(date.day); // Prints 11
print(date.month); // Prints 3
print(date.year); // Prints 2002

↔️ Conversion methods:

Date allows for seamless and easy conversions to most commonly used representations!

final date = Date(11, 3, 2002);
final dateTime = date.toDateTime(); // Time of day is set to zeros
print(date.toIso8601()); // Prints 2002-03-11T00:00:00.000
print(date.toString()); // Prints 11032002

📊 Comparisions:

Comparisions work just like in your well-known DateTime objects!

final earlier = Date(11, 3, 2002);
final later = Date(21, 9, 2004);
print(earlier.isBefore(later)); // True
print(later.isAfter(earlier)); // Also true

On top of this, there are also operators > (is after) , < (is before), <=, >= and ==.

🔨 Modifiers:

Last but not least, there is a set of useful modifiers. Every Date object is immutable by default, so each of them creates a new Date object.

date.addDays(2) == date + 2 // Always true
date.subtractDays(7) == date - 7 // Also always true

Sorting an Iterable of Dates is even easier:

[Date(21, 9, 2004), Date(24, 12, 2006), Date(11, 3, 2002)].sort((a, b) => a.compareTo(b));

Now the list is Date(11, 3, 2002), [Date(21, 9, 2004), Date(24, 12, 2006)].
