Need current week day name with date which can be used further

Question

I need This current weeks day name, with the date like (01/12/2020). I can select the data, so that I can use the data further.

see below: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54371874/how-get-the-name-of-the-days-of-the-week-in-dart — Arash Mohammadi, Sep 12 '20 at 04:32
What does "select option of 7 days" mean? Your question is very unclear. As stated, you want to take a date (e.g. January 12, 2020) and derive the weekday name ("Sunday"), which is what the cited question already answers. It sounds like you want something else? — jamesdlin, Sep 12 '20 at 05:55

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

      dependencies:
          intl: ^0.16.1

Import the package in the dart file

    import 'package:intl/intl.dart';

    ...

    var dateString = '01/12/2020';
    var date = DateFormat('d/M/yyyy').parse(dateString);


    List<String> daysInWeek=['Monday', 'Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday','Sunday',];
    print(daysInWeek[date.weekday-1]);

You seem to have forgotten the order of the days of the week. – Christopher Moore Sep 12 '20 at 18:25
I don't know how could I, It's crazy. Sorry fixed it. – Amon C Sep 12 '20 at 20:54
This code does not work. This will consistently return the incorrect day of the week. – Christopher Moore Sep 13 '20 at 02:12
Fixed it again. – Amon C Sep 13 '20 at 23:56
This just further breaks the code. – Christopher Moore Sep 13 '20 at 23:56
I don't get you – Amon C Sep 13 '20 at 23:58
Try your own code for a few different dates. You're going to get the incorrect day of the week and occasionally range/out of bounds errors. – Christopher Moore Sep 13 '20 at 23:59
now it's working – Amon C Sep 14 '20 at 00:03

I think what you're wanting is the actual name of the day of the week. In that case, this should do the trick:

  var days = ['Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday', 'Sunday'];
  var day = DateTime.parse('2020-09-12').weekday;
  print(days[day]); // prints "Saturday"

Try pasting this code in dartpad to see how it works

This code doesn't work for dates like `2020-09-13`. – Christopher Moore Sep 12 '20 at 18:26
Ah, yes. Sunday is supposed to be at index 7. The first index doesn't actually get used. Dart's `weekday` returns 1-7, not 0-6 as I thought. – loganrussell48 Sep 14 '20 at 02:15
So it *does* work. If you have the indices in the order according to the Dart documentation. I updated the answer to reflect that. – loganrussell48 Sep 14 '20 at 02:17
Sunday works just fine. I tested it. With the day you originally stated, today's date – loganrussell48 Sep 14 '20 at 02:20
