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 th

Answer 1

Use the add and subtract methods with a Duration object to create a new DateTime object based on another.

var date1 = DateTime.parse("1995-07-20 20:18:04");

var newDate = date1.add(Duration(days: 366));

print(newDate); // => 1996-07-20 20:18:04.000

Notice that the duration being added is actually 50 * 24 * 60 * 60 seconds. If the resulting DateTime has a different daylight saving offset than this, then the result won't have the same time-of-day as this, and may not even hit the calendar date 50 days later.

Be careful when working with dates in local time.
