How do I convert a date/time string to a DateTime object in Dart?

Question

Say I have a string

"1974-03-20 00:00:00.000"

It is created using DateTime.now(), how do I convert the string back to a DateTime object?

Answer 1

DateTime has a parse method

var parsedDate = DateTime.parse('1974-03-20 00:00:00.000');
