I'm not looking for something powerful, for date format DateFormat
is enough but i need to add A.D
or B.C
like in Anno Domini for dates.
Now i know it's not even a challenge to customize it but I'm looking for best way to do it with the official API so it can adapt to changes in the future.
package:intl
's DateFormat
class should be able to do with the G
formatter:
import 'package:intl/intl.dart';
void main() {
var date = DateTime(2021, 5, 6);
print(DateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd G').format(date)); // Prints: 2021-05-06 AD
}
Note that negative years seem to be directly assumed to be BC; that is, a year of -1 seems to be treated as 1 BC. This might not be what you expect if you want year 0 to be invalid.
