Date Tools #

Tools for working with dates. Currently just a [DateInterval] implementation.

Date Intervals #

The [DateInterval] API makes it easier to work with common date intervals like days, months and years. You can check the start/end of intervals, move to previous and next intervals, and generate sequences of intervals.

/// The interval defaults to the [DateTime.now()], but we'll provide a date to make it clear.
final now = DateTime(2023, 10, 26);

print(DateInterval.day(now).start()); // DateTime:<2023-10-26 00:00:00.000000Z>
print(DateInterval.day(now).end()); // DateTime:<2023-10-26 23:59:59.999999Z>

print(DateInterval.year(now).next().start); // DateTime:<2024-01-01 00:00:00.000000Z>

print(DateInterval.month(now).generate(4).toList());
// DateInterval(interval: month, start: 2023-10-01 00:00:00.000, end: 2023-10-31 23:59:59.999999)
// DateInterval(interval: month, start: 2023-11-01 00:00:00.000, end: 2023-11-30 23:59:59.999999)
// DateInterval(interval: month, start: 2023-12-01 00:00:00.000, end: 2023-12-31 23:59:59.999999)
// DateInterval(interval: month, start: 2024-01-01 00:00:00.000, end: 2023-01-31 23:59:59.999999)

print(DateInterval.day(now).range(now.add(2.days)).toList());
// DateInterval(interval: day, start: 2023-10-26 00:00:00.000, end: 2023-10-26 23:59:59.999999)
// DateInterval(interval: day, start: 2023-10-27 00:00:00.000, end: 2023-10-27 23:59:59.999999)
// DateInterval(interval: day, start: 2023-10-28 00:00:00.000, end: 2023-10-28 23:59:59.999999)

print(DateInterval.month(now).spans(now)); // true
print(DateInterval.month(now).subtract(1).spans(now)); // false

More tools will be added in the future. Happy coding!
