Dart March 30 days

Small question :

I calculate the number of days in a given month like so :

new DateTime(2018, month+1, 1).difference(new DateTime(2018,month,1)).inDays


All is working fine, februari gives me 28 days, all months are correctly 30/31 days except for March, which gives me 30 days instead of 31.

februari

28

30/31

March

30

31

Has anyone seen this before and perhaps an explanation?

Thanks.

I believe it's because of daylight-saving, try new DateTime.utc(), the below code outputs the correct values

for(int month = 1; month < 13; month++) {

int daysInMonth = new DateTime.utc(2018, month+1,1).difference(new DateTime.utc(2018,month,1)).inDays;

print(daysInMonth);
}


"When dealing with dates or historic events prefer to use UTC DateTimes, since they are unaffected by daylight-saving changes and are unaffected by the local timezone."
