[Feature Request]: Have firstday of the week respect localization

[orontee]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In Breathap (excellent application by the way), the first day of the week seems to be hard coded to Sunday which make calendars hard to read and confusing for users leaving in countries where it is Monday or Saturday.

Describe the solution you'd like

First day of the week could be read from the host localization settings.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've open the application settings page and looked for a parameter.

Additional context
I realized that months and days in the calendar view aren't translated; May be it's related to the reported feature?

Brethap currently uses the table_calendar package to display the calendar. There does appear to be a setting in table_calendar to change the first day of the week. This change would require a new preference to be added to Brethap.

Please include a preferences wireframe on how you would like this new preference to look. Here is how to include wireframes into Brethap: #77.

This issue is stale because it has been open for 30 days with no activity.

According to https://pub.dev/packages/table_calendar#locale, table_calendar supports locale, thus a proper initialization of the locale from the system settings will do. No need for a new preference. What do you think?

I believe locale is "To display the calendar in desired language". If you look at the sample screenshots, the languages are changed, but not the first day of the week.

Good catch!

That said I am not convinced since a locale defines the first day of the week, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/Locale/getWeekInfo for example.

Browsing the pub.dev content I also found that there's a package for first day of the week automated selection computation: https://pub.dev/packages/first_day_of_the_week

Since this is best represented in the table_calendar package itself, I would recommend you submit a new feature request. Please include a reference to the table_calendar issue you submitted here so that if/when it is completed, it could be tested in Brethap.
