October 26, 2022

i can think how can you make a list with months from current’octomber’ to previous etc etc, this list can have 12 months from now octomber 2022 to november 2021.
not hardcoded, automated.

>Solution :

You can use intl package like this:

List months = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 12; i++) {
  var monthNumber = (DateTime.now().month - i);
  var monthDate = DateFormat.M().parse(
      (monthNumber < 1 ? 12 - (-monthNumber) : monthNumber).toString());
  var month = DateFormat.MMMM().format(monthDate);
  months.add(month);
}
print("months = $months");//months = [October, September, August, July, June, May, April, March, February, January, December, November]

if you get your list in Int try this:

List months = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 12; i++) {
  var monthNumber = (DateTime.now().month - i);
  var month = (monthNumber < 1 ? 12 - (-monthNumber) : monthNumber);
  months.add(month);
}
print("months = $months");//months = [10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 12, 11]
