How get the name of the days of the week in Dart

Somebody knows how can I extract from DateTime the name of the day of the week?

ej: 

DateTime date = DateTime.now();
String dateFormat = DateFormat('dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm').format(date);

Result -> Friday

Solution

  • Use 'EEEE' as a date pattern

     DateFormat('EEEE').format(date); /// e.g Thursday

    or

     DateFormat.EEEE().format(date);

    Don't forget to import

    import 'package:intl/intl.dart';
