How get the abbreviated name of the day of the week in Dart

Question

Somebody knows how can I extract from DateTime the abbreviated name of the day of the week?

ej:

DateTime date = DateTime.now();
String dateFormat = DateFormat('dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm').format(date);

Result -> Fri

Solution

Use 'E' as a date pattern (ABBR_WEEKDAY pattern)

DateFormat(DateFormat.ABBR_WEEKDAY).format(date);
