flutter - Add/Subtract months/years to date in dart?

Question

I saw that in dart there is a class Duration but it cant be used add/subtract years or month. How did you managed this issue, I need to subtract 6 months from an date. Is there something like moment.js for dart or something around? Thank you

Answer 1

Okay so you can do that in two steps, taken from @zoechi (a big contributor to Flutter):

Define the base time, let us say:

var date = new DateTime(2018, 1, 13);

Now, you want the new date:

var newDate = new DateTime(date.year, date.month - 1, date.day);

And you will get

2017-12-13
