Dart: how do I get first day of week for current locale?

Question

It can be done in Java by

com.ibm.icu.util.Calendar.getInstance(Locale alocale).getFirstDayOfWeek()

Is there an equivalent way to get it in Dart?

Answer 1

This thing worked for me

DateTime today = DateTime.now();             
_firstDayOfTheweek = today.subtract(new Duration(days: today.weekday));

Answer 2

With Flutter you can use just:

MaterialLocalizations.of(context).firstDayOfWeekIndex;
