The error is simple 

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';

DateFormat.d().format(DateTime.now().toString())

Return

The method 'd' isn't defined for the class 'DateFormat'. Try correcting the name to the name of an existing method, or defining a method named 'd'.

Try use this to get a day of week (like at monday)

Add dependency intl

intl: ^0.16.0 // Or the last version

Code:

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';

DateFormat.EEEE().format(DateTime.now())

The format() method receives an object of type DateTime no String. I tried to 

print(DateFormat.d().format(DateTime.now()));

and they worked correctly.I don't understand why it tells you that the d() method is undefined. Have you checked that the package matters well and that you can access the implement also from the d() method by pressing cmd + click on the method?

You need DateFormat for only complex formatting. For this kind of simple operation, you can use the properties of the DateTime class as following:

DateTime.now().weekday
