How to convert From DateTime to unix timestamp in Flutter or Dart in general

Question

as you seen in the title i want to convert from DateTime to unix Timestamp in Flutter (Dart Lang).

i saw the static Method that can convert from unix timestamp to DateTime :

DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(unixstamp);

i need the reverse

datatime => unixstamp

Thanks in advance.

Solution

Darts DateTime has a property millisecondsSinceEpoch which should be what unix timestamp is as well.

DateTime.now().toUtc().millisecondsSinceEpoch

Unix timestamps are in seconds, so you'll need to divide that by 1000.
