Dart currently exposes weekday and month constants as 3-letter abbreviated static constants in DateTime. This is bad because:
- you always have to prefix them with "DateTime."
- abbreviations are unreadable (especially for non-native english speakers?)
- not really specific to DateTime, so misplaced
- weekday and month constants are mixed together
This pub package is a proposal to:
- move each set of constants (months and weekdays) to its own library
- unabbreviate the constants
- link to those libraries in the documentation for DateTime.weekday and DateTime.month
You can compare the old way and new way.
If you agree, then star this issue.
Presumably these libraries would move to a more broad ranging calendar package in the future.
