Convert Brazilian to American date to parse for a Date object

Question

I’m making an application that reads an html page and gets some information, among them a date. This date is in Portuguese, in the following format: "23 March 2019". I wonder if you have any way to convert this into a Date object.

Answer 1

I got it using the lib intl of Dart in this way:

import 'package:intl/date_symbol_data_local.dart';


///Pega string no formato "23 março 2019" e adiciona os "de" ficando: "23 de março de ///2019"

String strDate = splitted[0];
        var fullDate = strDate
            .split(" ")
            .map((s) => " de " + s)
            .join()
            .trim()
            .split(' ')
            .skip(1)
            .join(' ');

initializeDateFormatting("pt_BR", null).then((_) {
          DateFormat("dd MMMM yyyy");
          var d = DateFormat.yMMMMd("pt_BR").parse(fullDate);
          print('date: ${d}');
        });
