[SOLVED] How to convert Appwrite datetime to Flutter datetime?

Hi, I get back a datetime from appwrite in this format 2023-01-06T14:30:00.000+00:00 and I need to end up with a Flutter dateTime. I tried this String utcDateString = '2023-01-06T14:30:00.000+00:00'; DateTime utcDate = DateTime.parse(utcDateString); but it is not working. Any ideas?

TL;DR

The problem has been solved. The solution is to use the `DateFormat` class in Flutter to convert the Appwrite datetime to Flutter datetime. This function can be used: ```dart String formatDateTimeFromUtc(dynamic time) { try { return new DateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss") .format(new DateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss").parse(time)); } catch (e) { return new DateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss").format(new DateTime.now()); } } ``` Alternatively, a substring approach can also be used, but it is not recommended.

I was able to get it working with use of substrings but seems like not a good way to do it. ```DateTime isoToFlutterDateTime({required String date}) { final reformat = '${date.substring(0, 4)}-${date.substring(5, 7)}-${date.substring(8, 10)} ${date.substring(11, 16)}';

final dateParse = DateTime.parse(reformat);

return dateParse; }```

This function seems to do the trick

TypeScript

String formatDateTimeFromUtc(dynamic time){
  try {
    return new DateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss").format(new DateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss").parse(time));
  } catch (e){
    return new DateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss").format(new DateTime.now());
  }
}
