Convert string to List of dates in flutter

I have String :

String datesString= "[2022-04-14 15:51:10,2022-01-29 15:51:10]";

I need to convert it to list of DateTime or String ....

I try JsonDecode

List datesList= jsonDecode(datesString);

it throw a format exception :

Unhandled Exception: FormatException: Unexpected character (at character 6)

[2022-04-14 15:51:10,2022-01-29 15:51:10]

how I can get the list from the String ?

That string is not JSON.

final dates = datesString.substring(1, datesString.length - 1)
  .split(',')
  .map((date) => DateTime.parse(date));

var date = datesString.toString().replaceAll("]", "").replaceAll("[", "");
List datesList = date.split(",");

List will be datesList

or you can do like this

 datesString = datesString.substring(1, datesString.length - 1);
List datesList = datesString.split(",");

To get a list of Strings :

datesString = datesString.substring( 1, datesString.length - 1);  
var list = datesString.split(",");

And to get a list of DateTimes, add to the above :

var listDates = [];
  
for (var i in list){
  listDates.add(DateTime.parse(i));
}
