[Feature Request] Get only date or only time
JCKodel opened this issue · 8 comments
In C#, we have those two usefull properties of a DateTime:
var now = DateTime.Now; // 2020-04-10T15:27:00
var datePartOnly = now.Date; // 2020-03-10T00:00:00 (returns a DateTime, with 00:00:00 time)
var timePartOnly = now.TimeOfDay; // 15:17:00 (returns a TimeSpan - Duration in Dart)Is 2020-03-10T00:00:00 2020-04-10T00:00:00?
Is 15:17:00 15:27:00?
@JCKodel I add properties. Is it okay with you?
returns a TimeSpan - Duration
The timePartOnly I added returns a string.
Dart doesn't have TimeSpan.
Hey @shinriyo
Nice work with the PR. I would say, instead of a string from timeOfDay, maybe a Duration as a replacement for TimeSpan.
On second thought, is there really any added benefits in transforming time into a duration?

Yes yes yes!
I'm using this to calculate 12 events with a base date (date of the first event), then adding two days for each event. Every event has an alarm time (so it is easier to calc currentDate + Duration)
Oh yes, you could definitely do that currentDate + 2.days is also valid.
