Dart: previous and next weekday name-CodePudding

Is there any way in dart to find next and previous weekday name? Such as, today is say Friday, so previous day was Thursday and next day will Saturday. Can I programmatically handle that?

CodePudding user response：

At the time I posted this it's Thursday where I live

For yesterday:

print(DateFormat("EEEE").format(DateTime.now().add(Duration(days: -1))));

output:

Wednesday

For tomorrow:

print(DateFormat("EEEE").format(DateTime.now().add(Duration(days: 1))));

Output:

Friday

The output might be different depending on your locale.

This needs

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';

to work.

CodePudding user response：

in your pubspec.yaml file, dependencies section. add intl dependency like so

dependencies:
  intl: ^latest version

and then import :

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';

now you can use DateFormat as you wish, here is an example :

print(DateFormat('EEEE').format(DateTime.now())); // prints Tuesday
print(DateFormat('EEEE').format(DateTime.now().subtract(Duration(days: 1))));// prints Monday
print(DateFormat('EEEE').format(DateTime.now().add(Duration(days: 1)))); // prints Wednesday
