Checking if a TimeOfDay is before or after another

bool isBefore = currentTime.isBefore(otherTime);
bool isAfter = currentTime.isAfter(otherTime);

Calculating the difference in minutes between two TimeOfDay objects

int minutesDifference = currentTime.differenceInMinutes(otherTime);

Checking if a TimeOfDay is between two others

bool isBetween = currentTime.isBetween(startTime, endTime);

Converting time to 12-hour format with optional meridian display

String formattedTime = '12:55:00'.to12Time(showMeridian: true);

Get the first letters of a string

// you can use it like this
final _firstLetters = 'Mustafa Ibrahim'.initials;
// it will return 'MI'

Get the first letter of a string

// you can use it like this
final _firstLetter = 'Mustafa Ibrahim'.initial;
// it will return 'M'

Add extensions for theme, textTheme, and colorScheme for easy access to theme properties

// you can use it like this
final _theme = context.theme;
final _textTheme = context.textTheme;
final _colorScheme = context.colorScheme;

Add padding to widgets, allowing customization of height, width, or both

// normaly when you want to add padding to a widget you do it like this
Padding(
  padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
  child: Text('Hello World'),
)
// or you can use SizedBox() like this
SizedBox(
  height: 8.0,
)
---------
SizedBox(
  width: 8.0,
)
// but with easix you can do it like this
8.ph // for virtical padding with 8.0 height
---------
8.pw // for horizontal padding with 8.0 width
---------
8.p // for both virtical and horizontal padding with 8.0 height and width

Useful functions example

convert any list with a date property to a sorted list of dates, where it will be sorted by the date property in the list items.

List<ExampleModel> _exampleList = [
  ExampleModel(
    id: 1,
    name: 'Example 1',
    date: DateTime.now().subtract(Duration(days: 1)),
  ),
  ExampleModel(
    id: 2,
    name: 'Example 2',
    date: DateTime.now().subtract(Duration(days: 2)),
  ),
  ExampleModel(
    id: 3,
    name: 'Example 3',
    date: DateTime.now().subtract(Duration(days: 3)),
  ),
  ExampleModel(
    id: 4,
    name: 'Example 4',
    date: DateTime.now().subtract(Duration(days: 4)),
  ),
  ExampleModel(
    id: 5,
    name: 'Example 5',
    date: DateTime.now().subtract(Duration(days: 5)),
  ),
  ExampleModel(
    id: 6,
    name: 'Example 6',
    date: DateTime.now().subtract(Duration(days: 6)),
  ),
];

// you can use it like this
final _sortedDateList = convertToSortedDateList(
  existingList: [],
  newList: _exampleList,
  dateProperty: (item) => item.date,
);

// it will return a list of dates sorted by the date property in the list items.

SortedDateList is a list of SortedDate where SortedDate is a class that has two properties date and list where date is the date property in the list items and list is a list of items that have the same date property.

GetTypeList function to get a list of types from a list of objects.

// you can use it like this
final examples = getTypeList<ExampleModel>(
  _exampleList,
  ExampleModel.fromJson,
);
