Datetime without 00:00:00.000 for flutter

Question

Why everytime I make a

var date = DateTime.parse(dob);
var formattedDate = '${date.year}${date.month}${date.day}';  
DateTime.parse(formattedDate)

it will still retrieve as 1961-02-26 00:00:00.000? How do I get it to become 19610226 but still in datatype DateTime?

Use DateFormat Class from intl package to format your date

var date = DateTime.parse(dob);
var dateFormatter = new DateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd');
String formattedDate = dateFormatter.format(date);
print(formattedDate); // result 2020-03-24

DateTime.parse() should do your bidding. – Aldanis Vigo Dec 03 '20 at 20:57
