date property
final
Computes the offset from the first day of week that the first day of the
month
falls on.
For example, September 1, 2017 falls on a Friday, which in the calendar localized for United States English appears as:
S M T W T F S
_ _ _ _ _ 1 2
The offset for the first day of the months is the number of leading blanks in the calendar, i.e. 5.
The same date localized for the Russian calendar has a different offset, because the first day of week is Monday rather than Sunday:
M T W T F S S
_ _ _ _ 1 2 3
So the offset is 4, rather than 5.
This code consolidates the following:
DateTime.weekday
provides a 1-based index into days of week, with 1 falling on Monday.MaterialLocalizations.firstDayOfWeekIndex
provides a 0-based index into theMaterialLocalizations.narrowWeekdays
list.MaterialLocalizations.narrowWeekdays
list provides localized names of days of week, always starting with Sunday and ending with Saturday.
Implementation
final PersianDate date = PersianDate.pDate()
