parse method Null safety
Given user input, attempt to parse the inputString
into the anticipated
format, treating it as being in the local timezone.
If inputString
does not match our format, throws a FormatException.
This will accept dates whose values are not strictly valid, or strings
with additional characters (including whitespace) after a valid date. For
stricter parsing, use parseStrict.
Implementation
DateTime parse(String inputString, [bool utc = false]) =>
_parse(inputString, utc: utc, strict: false);
