How to change the locale startOfweek ?

[abdullah-cse]

Thanks for awesome Package!😍 It's made my life easier. I'm only struggling about how to change localeStartOfWeek manually.

  //Getting default Start Date of Week
  var defaultStartOfWeek = Jiffy.now().localeStartOfWeek;
  print(defaultStartOfWeek); //StartOfWeek.sunday
  
  //Trying to change Start Date of Week manually
  defaultStartOfWeek = StartOfWeek.monday;

  var xyz = Jiffy.now();
  //Expected Output= StartOfWeek.monday
  print(xyz.localeStartOfWeek); //StartOfWeek.sunday

Here in this snippet, expecting StartOfWeek.monday but getting StartOfWeek.sunday

So, why i need this as user can get startOfWeek by their locale?

If user want to change First date of week manually.

So how to change StartOfWeek manually?

Hey @abdullah-cse

Glad you like Jiffy

And yes, we should have a way to manually set the start day of week, since its really in demand

Will work on it, and see how first I can ship this feature out

As of version 6.4.0, you can now override locale settings

So to override the start of week, simply do the following

await Jiffy.setLocale(locale: 'en_US');

final jiffy = Jiffy.now().locale.startOfWeek; // Sunday

// Overriding the start of week
await Jiffy.setLocale(
    locale: 'en_US',
    startOfWeek: StartOFWeek.saturday,
);

final jiffy = Jiffy.now().locale.startOfWeek; // Saturday
