Getting starting time of the particular date in dart

Question

Hi I am trying to get the start time as current date 12:00 AM as my fromTime

DateTime toTime= new DateTime.now();
DateTime fromTime= toTime.subtract(new Duration(days: 1));

By above I am getting fromTime value as curent time - 24hrs, but I want fromTime as current date 12 AM

output what I am getting is

2019-09-30 14:25:36.105 //toTime
2019-09-29 14:25:36.105 //fromTime

expected output:

2019-09-30 14:25:36
2019-09-30 00:00:00

help me out to get the above,Thanks.

Solution 1

Did you mean like this:

  DateTime toTime= new DateTime.now();
  DateTime fromTime= new DateTime(toTime.year, toTime.month, toTime.day);
  print(toTime);
  print(fromTime);

output:

2019-09-30 17:15:20.294
2019-09-30 00:00:00.000

Solution 2

Try this package, Jiffy it much simpler and is inspired by momentjs. It looks like you are trying to get the start day of toTime and set it to fromTime. Do the following

var toTime = Jiffy().dateTime; // This returns DateTime.now();
// or
var toTime = DateTime.now();

var fromTime = Jiffy(toTime).startOf(Units.DAY).dateTime; // This will return the start of day

print(toTime); // 2019-09-30 14:25:36.105
print(fromTime); // 2019-09-30 00:00:00.000
